NUM TIME COMMENT
1 03:20 Race 1 1400m
VISU IIJAN (1) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1300m at this track when second. Will strip fitter and can get the win. LA LUNE (4) finished half a length from the winner in second in a much better run last time at this track over 900m. Well placed and is a major contender. NANGOKU II NET (2) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth over 1300m at this track. Can play a significant role. PATRASCHE (6) finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 900m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Should be about the money.
2 03:50 Race 2 1400m
IKENO ASACHAN (7) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1300m, beaten a neck. Hasn't been far away this time in work with three minor placings from six starts. May prove tough to beat. NOBOSEMON (6) impressed when successful on debut over 900m at this track two weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. APOLLON TESORO (3) broke through for his maiden win over 1300m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Has a low draw and he looks sure to be in the mix. BOUVARDIA ROSE (8) ran below her best when fifth last start over 1300m at this track. Sure to do much better.
3 04:25 Race 3 1400m
G T JIN (6) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1400m at Kanazawa when beaten 1.5 lengths. Commendable record at this trip and is a leading contender. LACUSNO KAMIKAZARI (3) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish fourth at this track. Leading player. MAY BLOSSOM (9) came home powerfully and got up for third over today's trip at this track last start. Will spot them a start but watch for her late. ANOTHER VITA (1) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second over 1500m at Kanazawa. Can figure in the finish again.
4 05:00 Race 4 900m
NAMURA JOSHUA (3) returns after a break of nine months. Has won eight on end, the latest over 1300m at this track. Can go on with it. AMALFI (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1300m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. RHEIN ANGELA (5) narrowly missed last time when second over 1400m at this track to add to a frustrating sequence of results. Genuine performer so she is expected to be in the finish. EXCELLEN ARTHUR (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 1400m after he had settled well back. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
5 05:35 Race 5 1400m
ACCOLADE (9) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third over 1300m at this track. Talented type who is among the leading hopes. SMILE BROCKEN (2) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten a head as favourite. Can go one better. LEGENDIZE (6) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1300m at this track when he was handy all the way. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. MISCHABEL (3) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Well placed and can repeat the dose.
6 06:05 Race 6 1400m
NAMURA EMMY (4) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. DOWN TO EARTH (9) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise. RIKEA DARJEELING (3) is having her first run since winning by half a length three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Kanazawa. Has transferred to the Ryuma Kanagawa stable over the break. Sure to make her presence felt. ATHENA PARTHENOS (11) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
7 06:35 Race 7 1300m
T O KALDOR (7) wasn't far away last time when second over 1400m at this track on December 14. Rates highly here on that effort. T O SMITH (11) did a great job to score by 8 lengths over today's course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. DISTURBIA (3) gave the leaders a start last start and made little impact in the straight when tenth over this journey at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. JUNE ALLEGRO (1) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Must be respected.
8 07:10 Race 8 1400m
A SHIN TAVERNA (6) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TWEED RIVER (1) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ICHINO KOMACHI (5) ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 1.75 lengths over 1800m at this track. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. COASTAL TOWN (3) had been in great form winning two on end before finishing third last time out over 1400m at this track. Can bounce straight back.
9 07:40 Race 9 1400m
MEISHO IKE (3) has scored at his last five starts, most recently by one length over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with five wins from nine runs. Can measure up again. KITO WIN (4) started at $1.70 last time but could only manage sixth at this track over 1400m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Can atone. TAGANO HINATA (7) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has four wins here. Jun Tanaka who has scored on her four times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. FIRST RICKEY (9) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth over 1400m at this track. Has a fine record here with three wins from five starts. Too good to ignore.
10 08:10 Race 10 1800m
ALL STEAL (4) was quickly into stride over 1400m at this track last time and went on to score by 5 lengths. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. KING OLIVER (11) was well fancied last time but found a couple better at this track, finishing a long neck adrift at the end of 1400m. Will appreciate the extra ground. Sure to run well. PREMIUM KIND (10) proved too strong two runs ago but was safely held last time out when third over 1400m here. Goes up a rung or two but she is up to the task. NOBLE BEACH (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a nose from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
11 08:40 Race 11 900m
ZEPHYR BAROWS (10) was on the speed from the rails draw last start and battled on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. In the right race and is a key runner. TEMPEST HEROINE (9) is a six-start maiden who finished second over 900m at this track last time out after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. J L TIDE (11) is yet to break through after eight starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Drawn out but will wind up late. Has ability and expected to feature. MOZU BORN (8) turned in another moderate effort last start when 14 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
