Race 1 1300m
GREY MOCHA (8) gave away a big start last time out and finished ninth over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. ETRANGE POWER (3) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. DODODODODOKAN (5) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished fifth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on December 25. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. LAURIE (9) was well in commission on her debut over 800m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fourth. Better for that run and can improve sharply. |

Race 2 1300m
MAJOR APPEAL (1) is yet to break through after four career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu following a minor placing there when fresh from a spell the run prior. Won't get too many better chances to open his account. KOTORINO UTAU UTA (10) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Likely to press forward from wide out. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is one of the key runners. G T AMOUR (9) is having his first run since winning by 2.5 lengths two months ago over 1500m at Nagoya. Has transferred to the Satoshi Kokubo stable over the break. Among the chances. DIR BRAND (4) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when seventh over 1600m at Mizusawa. Can atone. |

Race 3 1400m
SHIMME ELITE (2) finished third on debut 11 weeks ago over 1400m at this track, and has not been produced since. Has a low draw and expected to go well again. COMBAT STATE (7) started at $2.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth at this track over 1400m. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. SWINDLE (8) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fifth. Among the chances and could be tough to stop. RYUNO VAMOS (4) was below her best last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Open to improvement and should be about the mark. |

Race 4 1400m
JO KAI (8) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey at this track before finishing third. In the right race and is a key runner. ORI'S GENIE (9) was well supported when resuming last start but missed the placings in fifth over 1500m at this track. Among the winning hopes. MOZU MASTERPIECE (5) started at $3.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth here over 1400m. Could be hard to beat in this suitable race. MEGU (12) turned in a better run last start when fifth over 1500m at this track. Toshiki Yamamoto gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Suitably placed so can turn things around. |

Race 5 1500m
MIKASA (7) finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track in an improved run. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. WONDER FEEL (1) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Has the talent to take care of this field. LOVE ME ERE (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was fourth over 1200m at Funabashi. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Strips fitter and can feature. ICHIGO WHIP (10) was unplaced last start over 1500m at Kawasaki when 11th. Finds a nice race and can atone. |

Race 6 800m
S C BONNY (3) is in top form this campaign, including a 1.5 lengths win over this journey at this track last time. Can continue the winning run. PETIT BEANS (10) was denied last start when she found one better over 800m at this track. The engagement of Masaaki Kuwamura is noteworthy. Anticipating a big run. TATSUNO DREAM (11) displayed plenty of early toe over 800m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 2.5 lengths. Has the speed to overcome a wide draw and can play a pivotal role. O SHIN BOUQUET (8) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish 11th over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Likely improver. |

Race 7 800m
LUMINEUX FILLE (2) returns from a break of five months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 800m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. MIRACOLO ECLAT (5) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at Kanazawa over 900m. Had plenty on her rivals last time and will go close again. BLACK EMPIRE (6) ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 800m at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he is likely to play a big role. ETERNAL WIND (3) missed the frame last start over 1000m at Funabashi, finishing eighth. Well placed and can feature in the finish this time. |

Race 8 1400m
HEAVEN'S CRY (5) lifted strongly only to just miss when fresh from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of another big effort. RICKEY MACCHIATO (2) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 1.1 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1500m at this track. Haruto Nakayama who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. ESORA (10) finished second at Kawasaki two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. NISHINO REPEAT (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 800m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. |

Race 9 2000m
KING BULLSEYES (9) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep ten weeks ago when he scored by 3 lengths. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has five wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. BEL ROUTE (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten only half a length. Key runner. YUYU PRESENCE (12) went forward over 2000m at this track last time but found one better. Yoichiro Muro has been in the money at the last four rides. Should be involved in the finish. PEACE SHINY (1) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when seventh over 2000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. |

Race 10 1400m
SUN CAPRICE (4) built on a nice second two starts back with a win over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. MATTHEW (12) finished 13th over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt at his most recent appearance on November 1. Has switched to the Satoshi Kokubo yard. Rates highly and should take some beating. RASIEL (1) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Funabashi over 1600m on October 1. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Takashi Mizuno. Sure to make her presence felt. STOIC NOAH (10) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign to finish second over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Takayuki Yano is noteworthy. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish. |

Race 11 1500m
SPENCER BAROWS (6) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1500m at this track on August 20. Tsubasa Sasagawa has been the pilot at his last two wins. Should be hard to stop. LIVE MUSTARD (9) continued the solid form last start, finishing 1.5 lengths back in second at this track over today's trip. Among the leading chances again. SIRIUS (7) sat on the pace when fresh from a spell last start but faded to be beaten 21 lengths when tenth over 1200m at Funabashi. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. CHOMECHOME (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race. |

Race 12 2000m
CHEVAL NOIR (6) stepping out at this track for the first time. Last appeared when he finished second over 1600m at Funabashi on December 12. Ideally placed to play a significant role. BEACH GIRL (11) continued the solid form last start, finishing back in third at this track over today's trip. Has claims. RIKEA ORANGE (1) resumes in a similar race to her last run three-and-a-half months ago when third, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Has found the right race and is worth including. ICHIKANO YUME (8) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 3 lengths at her most recent outing when fourth over 1500m at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Can give backers a sight. |
