Race 1 920m
FUKU FORMOSA (4) is a 10-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1500m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will prove hard to hold out. MISORA (5) led throughout last start to score an effortless win over 920m at this track. Sure to take some stopping again. KITAKARAKITA MAAYA (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YAMA NOBLE (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1500m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. |

Race 2 1500m
MEISHO YORIKIRI (1) last appeared when eighth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt five-and-a-half months ago. Has switched to the Fujigasaki Kazuhito stable. Rates highly and should take some beating coming back a level. QUIET ENIF (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when fifth over 920m at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. RAMESSES (3) settled well back then made a little ground and finished in sixth last time out over 920m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Settles back early but winds up late. Among the main hopes. WESTERN TAMAYA (5) turned in another moderate effort last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. |

Race 3 1400m
SAMMARU REVE (11) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Set to return in style. TAMAMO HAYABUSA (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish in fourth over 920m at this track. Will be handy in the run and should prove hard to run down. LOVERS BLUE (10) resumes from a spell of five months after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the main contenders. NOBORI MISSION (3) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 920m at this track, beaten only half a length. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again. |

Race 4 1400m
WIN FULGORA (6) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Can bounce back to his best form here. KOMOMOCHAN (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to take this out. SUN LUNA (3) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish 5 lengths away in fifth at this track. Well placed and is among the chances. TSUKIYOZAKURA (11) ran a better race last start, finishing 5.5 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see her in the mix. |

Race 5 1500m
PARIS MODE (12) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. ASK SURVIVAL (10) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1500m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MEISHO MISS ICHI (6) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Should park just off the speed. Should be involved in the finish. HARU NOTE (1) finished 4 lengths away in seventh at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on February 9. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. |

Race 6 1500m
ONIKU DAISUKIMAN (5) got a long way back when 5.5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1500m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at this track the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THALJ (2) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make amends. IBUSHIGIN (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 13 when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at this track over 1400m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. ESTRELLITA (8) drew wide last time and was safely held when tenth over this track and trip. Can do much better. |

Race 7 1500m
DANON FIGO (10) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Change of jockey to Yuga Kawada who has a strong record when aboard, including two wins. Sure to play a big role. WAYWARD ACT (9) missed the frame when resuming from a break last time out, finishing seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1400m in the G3 Negishi Stakes at Tokyo Dirt. Has never been out of the placings at the second run back from a spell from three tries and should be better for that first-up run. Leading chance. SHAMAL (2) finished ninth over 1800m at Funabashi at his most recent appearance on November 3. Worth plenty of thought. MATENRO COMMAND (11) turned in a strong run to place two back then safely held in stakes class when 11th in the G3 Negishi Stakes at Tokyo Dirt latest. Ran in far tougher grade last time and was unplaced but can easily bounce back here. |

Race 9 2000m
DRAGON LUCK (1) continued the great form last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths at this track over today's trip. Hard to knock and should go well again. BORDEAUX RISKLESS (2) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1500m at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Likely to be in the finish again. MEMORY DRIVE (10) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by one length over 1700m at this track. Katsuki Niwa scored on him last time and retains the ride. Finds a suitable race and can build on that last-start success. ESTA BONITO (7) was on the speed from the rails draw last start and battled on well to finish third over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. |

Race 10 920m
JURISTA (10) is back after a break of six months. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Opened last prep with a minor placing at Fukushima Dirt over 1150m. Well placed and happy to have her on top. NIGHTFALL SUN (9) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. HAKUSAN KRAKEN (3) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 920m at this track, beaten only a nose. Likely improver with strong prospects. KEIKA (11) was safely held when resuming last start over 920m at this track, finishing 12th. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Sure to be thereabouts. |

Race 11 1500m
MEINER LACAILLE (3) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 3 lengths win over 1500m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see him run well. MANNO LIGHTNING (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. IINE IINE IINE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2500m at Kasamatsu, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. EIGHT WAN (5) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Solid top-three prospects. |

Race 12 920m
NISHINO STEADYMIKI (7) was below her best last time when ninth over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of running a bold race. SHINE MONOLITH (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. UTAKATA (10) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Worth another chance. DUAL BLADE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect. |
