Race 1 1600m
MEINER VISION (5) has switched yards since finishing tenth a month ago over 1200m at Nakayama. Bright prospects. MEISHO HAYASE (1) settled well back then made a little ground and finished 11 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Backmarker who gets home hard. Leading contender. SAGEBRUSH (7) finished 8 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Leading hope. BLISS DISHA (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 29 lengths from the winner in tenth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around. |

Race 2 1400m
KATSUTENAI OISHISA (9) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten from two runs, the latest success coming over 1300m at this track. Hard to find fault. LALA JACARANDA (12) was a dominant winner last time over 1300m at this track, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Best form puts him right in this. ZAGARA (3) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing second over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Seiya Tatara gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. SOX (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3 lengths away in second over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. |

Race 3 1600m
CHUWA LONDON (2) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a neck over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed and he is sure to go well. EMERAL HAPPY (9) did little and finished 11 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her eighth at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. OWENS VALLEY (3) settled well back then made a little ground and finished 11 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1300m at this track six days ago. Steps up in distance today. Right in this. CHUO HAHN (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. |

Race 4 1600m
STAR CRUISING (10) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form since winning at Monbetsu on October 1, the most recent effort a second over 1400m at this track. Missed the frame at her only try at this trip. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts her right in this. PETAL BIJOU (4) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 2.25 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIYA FIGHTER (6) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1300m at this track. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. S K DANDY (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver so plenty to like about his chances. |

Race 5 1400m
TORTA CAPRESE (3) bounced back last start and scored by one length after being in contention on the turn over 1300m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. COASTAL TERRACE (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 2 lengths into fourth. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. MEINER MYTHOS (1) went back early from his wide draw over 1300m at this track last time but hit the line strongly to finish fourth. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. MATSURIDA MASURAO (9) ran below expectations last start, finishing ninth and beaten 14 lengths at this track over 1600m.

CINDERELLA SMILE (3) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Generally goes well here. Will prove tough to beat. ELABORATE (8) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1600m at this track a month ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Masayoshi Yamasaki scored on him last time and retains the ride. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role again. NORTH THE WORLD (5) was below his best last time when sixth over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Race 7 1400m
MEISHO SHIROGANE (10) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on January 10 over 1300m when he got home by 2 lengths. Winning rider Kondo Shogetsu retains the mount. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. IEDE GOROGORO (4) went back early from her wide draw over 1400m at this track last time but hit the line strongly to finish sixth. Leading player. ONE LEON (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MALOCA OF JAGUAR (1) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1600m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 0.7 lengths at $40.60. Can make an impact again. |

Race 8 1400m
AGRODOLCE (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just four times from 45 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. GOLD EAGLE (7) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 9 lengths when sixth in a 1600m contest at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to take this out. TSUBAKURO (2) resumed over 1300m at this track last start when he sat close to the pace before fading in the straight to finish sixth, beaten 9 lengths. Form at this track is solid. Should be involved in the finish. SMART HUNTER (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a better race. |

Race 9 1400m
SHOSAN KIZUNA (1) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 3 lengths win over 1600m at this track to make it two in succession. Has a formidable combination with Masayoshi Yamasaki who has been aboard for his last two wins. Should be hard to stop. SARAH FAUCON (11) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.5 lengths at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and three placings. Has a high cruising speed. Expecting a bold showing. MEISHO OKIBI (10) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 1600m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with six wins and four minor placings from 13 runs. Among the leading players again. ECHT STAHL (9) pushed forward and was a determined winner by a neck over 1600m at this track last time out. Should park just off the lead despite the wide draw. Not to be discounted. |

KIMON NICHOLAS (11) finished 2.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1300m at this track after being prominent at the bend a week ago. Steps up in distance today. Among the chances.
