NUM TIME COMMENT
1 03:25 Race 1 1300m
OHAJIKI (5) improved last time out to score by one length over 1300m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so she is one of the main contenders. KEY GOLD (8) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Can be there at the finish. VELVET ANO (3) is yet to break through in seven runs. Finished sixth at her last appearance over 1300m at this track on November 30. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. GRAND LIVE (2) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track. This looks a good race for her and she is one of the key runners.
2 04:00 Race 2 1300m
KUROSHIO BANZAI (5) was well fancied last start over 1300m at this track when fourth. Strong winning chance. GUERRIERE KIC (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at today's course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done again. COUNTRY VICTOR (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1800m at this track. Perfectly placed and could take plenty of stopping. LALA JACARANDA (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
3 04:35 Race 3 1300m
OLIVE BRANCH (2) finished fifth last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. JO PYRO RIGHT (6) was narrowly beaten at a huge quote last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. WINDSOR BAROWS (8) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to improve into a place. T O RENOIR (7) raced below his best last time when sixth over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
4 05:10 Race 4 1400m
WIDE KANT (5) is back at the races for the first time since May 25. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. GENYOSAI (1) finished third when resuming last start at this track over this distance. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey and is a leading contender. FOUR SIDE NINE (3) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Among the chances. ECORO FALCON (4) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing sixth. Record at this track is strong and fitter can sneak into the finish.
5 05:45 Race 5 1300m
NAMURA CREPE (3) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 5 lengths over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with five wins and two minor placings from 13 starts. Big chance once again. DANON WILHELM (4) bounced back last start and scored by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. DANON FAST (10) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Has the talent to build on that encouraging effort last start. BERLINETTA (11) failed to feature last start, finishing eighth over 1600m at this track. Look for an improved run.
6 06:15 Race 6 1300m
MACHINE GUN (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. LA TOILE (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth starting at $5.60. Has the ability to figure prominently. KURINO ORION (2) got a long way back and when seventh over 1600m at this track two weeks ago. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. KINGDOM WINNER (5) was fourth over 1600m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to find some form.
7 06:45 Race 7 1300m
AMMINO LEMON (1) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1600m, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Big chance to score. BRABEIO (7) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was tenth over 3570m at Nakayama. Second up record is very strong. Strips fitter and can take this easier race out. TORTA CAPRESE (4) finished back in ninth over 1600m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Should be prominent from the outset. Can bounce back. CAPO DI TUTTI CAPI (9) ran a better race last start, finishing fifth over 1600m at this track. No surprise to see him in the mix.
8 07:20 Race 8 1300m
SCANDINAVIA (4) recorded another success last time over 1300m at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Had plenty on her rivals last time and will go close again. ASCII ART (2) took advantage of the good draw and led for much of the way last start before being run down in the straight, finishing fourth over 1600m at this track. Bold showing expected. COASTAL TERRACE (6) drifted back over 1600m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth. One to watch for in the closing stages. A SHIN OTTIMO (3) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1600m at this track. Worth another chance.
9 07:50 Race 9 1300m
CINDERELLA SMILE (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1600m at this track. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. MEISHO SHIROGANE (9) finished third two runs back here then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as favourite over 1600m at this track. One of the chief contenders. WAKUWAKU DREAM (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1600m at this track, leading throughout and putting 2 lengths on her rivals. Expected to feature. B B BASILIS (8) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but she is capable of a big run.
10 08:20 Race 10 1400m
KEIAI MAPLE (5) returns from a break of three months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. BLUE SYMPHONY (3) is back from a spell of 11 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. GOODWOOD GUY (2) is close to a win after a sequence of strong results, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Winning claims if at his peak. LORD LEY LINE (6) finished second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Should be peaking. Has a good record at this course and distance and can feature in the finish.
11 08:50 Race 11 1300m
GEMMA (4) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish fourth over 1600m at this track. Will be handy in the run and could prove hard to run down. MEINER MYTHOS (10) improved last start to finish third over 1600m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. NIYODO SMILE (6) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when sixth over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed and anticipating a better run this time. RAISON DU SOURIRE (7) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed and can turn things around.
