Race 1 1200m
STAMEN (10) was well in commission last start over 1200m at this track when third, beaten 3 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. A SHIN PISSARRO (8) was on the speed from the rails draw when resuming last start and battled on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. NOT BORDER (4) resumes from a spell of eight months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. BRIGHT TERRA (1) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 11 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Has ability and must be included in calculations. |

Race 2 1600m
MIENO WILD (2) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 2.5 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Drawn well close to the inside and he looks certain to measure up again. MASANO ETERNAL (9) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Sure to go well again. ESPIEGLE (11) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 3 lengths. Expected to feature. PIKAPIKA PIROKO (1) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Was racing in great heart last prep with three consecutive wins before finishing tenth at Kyoto prior to going for the spell. Opened last prep with a minor placing over 900m at Kanazawa. Anticipating a strong return to racing. |

Race 3 1600m
SHU ZEUS (8) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a neck over 1400m here last time. Sure to measure up again. TOIRO (13) stepped up to the mile for the first time last start at this track and after looking a winning chance halfway down the straight he boxed on for second. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. SAIKAN SANYU (12) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Drawn out a bit but he is definitely worth including. FLOWER KING S (4) resumes after a break of four months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1400m at this track. Sound prospects. |

Race 4 1400m
SITHEP (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 3.5 lengths at today's track and distance when resuming from a spell last start. No reason he cannot salute again. LOVE ME MONROE (10) resumes after a break of six months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1200m at this track. Likely to take beating. T'S A LIGHT (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 1600m at this track three weeks ago after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. STRAIGHT BEAM (3) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1200m at this track last time. Cannot be underestimated. |

Race 5 1200m
HIGASHI NADESHIKO (13) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1200m at this track six months ago and has not been produced since. Looks promising and can measure up again. SAYONAKIDORI (6) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 1200m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. DRIVE ME HOME (7) scored over this course and distance last time after racing on the speed then lifting to score by one length. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with four wins from seven runs and is capable of going well. JUNE ACADEMY (4) is back from a spell of four months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, scoring in a 1200m contest at this track by 6 lengths. Has definite claims. |

Race 6 1600m
OMEGA SYMPHONY (7) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1600m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. BELL GRACIAS (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 2600m at this track, beaten 15 lengths into 12th. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. MARBLE MACARON (6) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fifth over 1600m at this track. Has further improvement to come and looks a clear threat. KOA LIO (3) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again. |

Race 7 1600m
BELIEVE AND RUN (5) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. BRAVOCERATOPS (1) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and he looms as a significant threat. YODOGIMI (6) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1600m. Proving a good combination with Keita Nishi with three straight placings. Capable of running a bold race. HAKUAI SOLEIL (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1600m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. |

Race 8 1400m
HARLEM SHUFFLE (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Form this track is hard to knock with two wins from six starts. Will prove tough to beat. ALMA VENUS (1) has returned in good order this campaign. Collected her maiden win first-up at this track then backed it up with a solid second over 1200m at this track at the latest outing. Nicely drawn on the fence and looks set to run well. DERMA UCHIGAKE (12) returns after a spell of four months. Looking to emulate her win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Has a top first-up record of four wins from five runs. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. KITANO HOSEKI (2) returns from a spell of five-and-a-half months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished seventh at Kyoto Dirt over 1400m when first-up last time in work. Wary. |

Race 9 1200m
IMMERSIVE (1) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 1.75 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has a strong record at this course, scoring three times from four starts. Expected to be in the finish. GRENAT RUFUS (11) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. NIJINO KANATANI (6) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 1200m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Solid top-three chance. SOUND KINGDOM (8) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. |

Race 10 1400m
SHADOW CASTLE (5) has not appeared since he finished eighth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt on December 13. Has switched to the Daisuke Mashima stable. Expect him to play a major role. RIKO TERRIER (3) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is good enough to cope. LEGEND WAY (13) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves his chance. KEN VIVALDI (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a nose away in second over 1200m at this track. Likely to be about the mark again. |

Race 11 1400m
ARDECHOIS (10) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 12th over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Under the care of new trainer Tsuyoshi Takano this prep. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. CORAL KING (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LIME FLAVOR (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1200m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Should be right there. FRIEND ROMA (3) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Definite top-three chance. |

Race 12 2000m
KOFUSEIGETSU (3) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1600m at this track on November 12. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CAROL BIANCA (1) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign when she made late ground and finished 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. KAZU PIREAS (5) finished 6 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1800m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. SENJU (8) is back at the races for the first time since November 11. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. In the mix. |
