Race 1 1300m
MEIWA SHERRY (10) is back from a break of four months. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at this track over 1300m. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts and is expected to feature. LALATINA (11) looks to launch this prep the way she ended the last nine weeks ago when she scored over 1400m at this track. Will prove hard to beat. WAIKIKI BEACH (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. EXPLORE (1) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

Race 2 1500m
SHIMME ELITE (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Jumps from a nice gate and she is a key runner. EDONO JET (10) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.75 lengths away in third over 1500m at Funabashi. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. CHON CHORO CHON (7) led all the way to score on debut over 1400m at this track nine weeks ago and has not appeared since. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. CASTLE PRIDE (6) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when second, beaten a neck, at Funabashi over 1200m. Looks a definite top-three candidate. |

Race 3 1500m
G T AMOUR (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1300m at this track. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. MAKANKOSAPPO (9) turned in a bold run first up when he tried to lead throughout but faded and finished fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths at Sonoda. Expected to go close. PYTHON (7) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start before tiring to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. TOKAI DIAMANT (10) was below her best last time when tenth over 1500m at this track. Open to improvement and should be about the mark. |

Race 4 1400m
VICTORIA LILY (9) finished in tenth when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Ohi. Placed at her only other second up appearance. Can bounce back in this much easier assignment today. ARCHAIQUE STAR (11) has not been sighted since she scored over 1400m at this track on November 27. Can pick up from where he left off last campaign. DIOMEDES (7) returned from a spell two months ago when he was tenth over 1400m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LEMON DROP (6) finished fourth over 1500m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Fitter so can feature in the finish. |

Race 5 1400m
G T ENGINE (5) has not raced since he finished second over 1400m at this track on December 22. Ready to run well. SEINOSUKE (6) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten a nose into second over 1500m at this track. Can play a major role. ROUGE MAAT (7) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at Sonoda. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. GREAT SPIRIT (12) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners. |

Race 6 1500m
PEISHA ANGELO (2) resumes from a spell of three months and is having her first outing under new trainer Satoru Furusawa. Finished 12th at Fukushima Dirt over 1700m at the opening run last time in work. Leading contender. MARGOT FESTA (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run three months ago when he scored by 5 lengths. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DANCING ERIKA (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1500m at this track after being in contention all the way. Has the speed to be prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. PRINCESS SAKURA (12) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Likely to be there at the finish again. |

Race 7 1400m
DERMA PURUSA (9) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1500m at this track nine months ago. Ryo Novata who has four wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. HARMONY ROI (12) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 1200m at Funabashi after he was up on the pace all the way. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. Poses a genuine threat. BECAUSE WE CAN (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. SUNNY SAFFRON (11) did a little better last start at the second run of the campaign, finishing fourth over 1200m at Funabashi. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Must be respected. |

Race 8 1400m
HANUMAN BEACH (1) returns from a spell of four months after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 1500m at this track. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from six starts and is expected to feature. KITASAN EPONA (9) lines up for the first time since November 26. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Expect her to play a major role. CRISP OF WAR (13) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1200m at Funabashi. Top-three hope. ESORA (6) produced another moderate effort last start when ninth over 1200m at Funabashi. No surprise to see him in contention. |

Race 9 800m
NISHINO SIEG (6) finished eighth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt at his most recent appearance on November 15. Now under the care of new trainer Toshio Tomita. Has ability and should be right in the finish as he drops back in grade. GALLOS (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 900m at Kawasaki, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner. Likely to feature. PHACELIA (5) progressed nicely last time out when he did his best work late to finish just a long neck from the winner in third over 900m at Kawasaki. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. NISHINO NEW LEAF (8) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 11th at this track over 800m. Likely improver with top-three prospects. |

Race 10 1500m
FIRE WHIP (3) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 4 lengths victory over 1500m at Kawasaki seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Has a strong association with Shoya Hozono who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Leading contender. CZERNY (11) stuck on well to finish second last start over 1500m at this track, beaten half a length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CHURAT (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when eighth in a 1500m contest at Kawasaki two-and-a-half weeks ago. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to take this out. TARO THUNDER (5) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Likely improver with top-three prospects. |

Race 11 1400m
ONIASHI (8) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.5 lengths at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and seven minor placings from 13 starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. ORWELL (1) finished seventh over 1500m at this track at his most recent appearance on September 24. Should be hard to stop. PYRO BEAM (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 2000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KANEKOME SISTER (2) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1200m at Funabashi. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 12 2000m
EARTH CHAN (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time. COSMO GOOD LUCK (9) drops back in trip after he was well held last time in 11th over 2200m at Funabashi. Ryo Novata has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Should be hard to stop. PARTY MODE (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at Kawasaki, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Likely improver with strong prospects. COCOLI ISLAND (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when 12th over 2200m at Funabashi. No surprise to see him in the frame. |
