Maiden Race 1200m
LIVE RED EYE (11) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only one length over this course and distance. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role in a race with a very long tail. KANREI STAR (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. KOSOKU YUNO (2) debuted three weeks ago when she finished fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will take a lot from that run and is worth following up. MIKKI PARASOL (14) has not raced since her debut on October 13 over 1600m at Tokyo when she finished 12th, beaten 10 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. |

Maiden Race 1800m
BELL WOOD PEACE (2) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at this track, beaten a nose. Heading in the right direction and looks sure to run well. ARDE KINGDOM (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Nakayama, beaten 6 lengths. Very little depth to this race so he should give it a mighty shake. HUDIE LAN (1) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1800m at Niigata. Rates highly on best figures and looks right in this. CAFE TANGAROA (16) faced the starter for the first time and finished 11th last start at Nakayama over 2000m, beaten 15 lengths. Betting on that occasion suggests there is more under the hood. |

Maiden Race 1200m
SANONO CANYON (3) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1200m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. Showed a ton of pace that day so will capitalise on this perfect draw. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. HASTY HEART (15) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the turn. That form will measure up. Sure to run well. COCKPIT SIGHT (12) started at big odds on debut last start when fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Probable improver with a solid top three chance. DAIYU SALTARE (7) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at this track. Further improvement likely so keep him safe. |

Newcomer Race 2000m

Allowance Race 1800m
NISHINO BLAZEST (15) went to the lead on straightening but was overwhelmed and finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1800m at this track, clocking in 4.5 lengths from the winner. Cherry ripe now so anticipate a bold showing. PROSPECT PARK (6) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, an improvement on his first-up sixth at this track the run before. Fitter for those runs and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LORD SKYBLUE (1) is back at the races for the first time since July 13. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Looks a strong top three prospect. CORIN CALVELLA (10) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Among the better hopes. |

Maiden Race 1600m
LILAS (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 11 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Tokyo. Promising filly who is ideally placed to make a winning return. CHARME GREEN (13) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1600m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Cherry ripe now and can go on to take this out. DEAL MAKER (6) finished a neck from the winner in second on debut over 1600m at Niigata on July 27 and has not appeared since. Looks to have a future so he is among the winning hopes. LA PRINCESSE (9) finished third last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to run well again. |

Allowance Race 1800m
PAI SHAOBING (1) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a nose, over 1800m at this track when returning from a spell. Takeshi Yokoyama who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. TRES SAPHIR (3) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 1800m at Tokyo. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMART KAIROS (6) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fifth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt after he was in contention on the turn. Will strip fitter and is among the leading chances. ECLIPSE RUBAN (12) resumed after a 286-day spell last start but failed to finish at this track. Capable of testing this field if on-song. |

KUROCHIKU SHO 1800m
MAC LIR (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is a clear top pick. KENTON (5) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 1800m at this track to kick off last prep. Solid chance. DANTSU SHITAN (3) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a head from the winner in second over 1800m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. TENKA MUTEKI (8) finished sixth over 1800m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts. |

HATSUNAGI SHO 1600m
STRAIGHT TALKER (12) finished fifth over 1600m at Tokyo at his most recent appearance on November 2. Has raced here at this trip three times for two wins. Good fresh performer looks a strong winning chance. ONE MORE SMILE (9) is having his first run since November 2. Goes well when fresh with a win and two placings from four starts. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. MATENRO BRAVO (16) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1600m at Chukyo. Fair record at this trip with a win and one placings. One of the main contenders. DANON MISSION (8) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Sapporo. Makes plenty of appeal. |

GEISHUN STAKES 2200m
MY UNIVERSE (4) was well held in the Kikuka Sho (Japanese St Leger) won by Energico over 3000m at Kyoto at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Reunites with Yokoyama who has two wins when on board. Good fresh performer who finds a nice race to launch this campaign. ELAN (9) continues to race well with a win two back at Tokyo before finishing 2 lengths away in second last time over 2000m at the same venue. Should camp just off the leaders and is a strong contender. ASK NICE SHOW (13) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2000m at this track to add to an impressive fresh record. Sure to make his presence felt. MEINER LAULEA (11) failed to finish over 2200m at Hanshin at his most recent appearance on December 10 2023. Betting watch off such a long break. |

Allowance Race 1200m
PIKO RED (6) is back at the races for the first time since October 11. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at this track. Has found a suitable race to launch this campaign. BARJEEL (13) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Monbetsu two starts back then landed the prize by 6 lengths as public elect last time out over 1200m at Funabashi. Stepping up to the JRA now but another win is not out of the question. SILFLAY (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Can play a role in this suitable race. PEPPER MILL (3) was beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth in a 1200m contest at Chukyo Dirt at his latest appearance. Likely improver with strong top three prospects. |
