Maiden Race 1400m
LEVER DU SOLEIL (2) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with an eighth over 1600m at Hanshin but wasn't far away at all three runs. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. AIKAN AZZURRA (11) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1400m at Kyoto Dirt after being in contention on the bend. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat. O K LIEN (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Likely improver who is among the better chances. LEUKOTHEA (14) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Has ability and worth including. |

Maiden Race 1800m
WONDER SOLDAT (4) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the corner, finishing a neck from the winner in second at the end of 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. GUMBAI (11) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at Nakayama over 1600m. Kept coming and worth following up. T M STAR RUN (3) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the bend over 1800m at this track, an improvement on his ninth on debut at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SABLE DIAMANT (1) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished ninth over 1800m at Kyoto. Expected to feature. |

Maiden Race 1200m
NAMURA RODIN (14) followed an unplaced effort first-up with a second last start over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with has the best overall figures. Strong prospects. LET'S ENJOY (9) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished fifth after trying to lead throughout over 1400m at this track on February 21. Back in trip and likely to be in the finish. YORINKEIJU (7) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Kyoto Dirt over 1200m, beaten 5 lengths. Has upside and worth including. MAKUAKE (12) was beaten 12 lengths into fifth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around. |

Maiden Race 2970m
SEIFU SATSUKI (7) has returned in sound form this prep over the jumps. Placed when resuming in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then finished third last time, beaten 2.5 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Looks very hard to beat in this sort of form. FOR DEAR LIFE (3) has gone a long time since a win and has shown ability over the jumps. Fitter and look for better showing here. MEISHO KOGASHIRA (10) was unplaced two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto then improved last time when he finished fifth, beaten 8 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. No surprise to see him back in form. VALENCAY KAZUMA (14) finished third two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Couldn't match that effort last time out, beaten 15 lengths into seventh in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Course and distance placed. Can give a sight despite the wide gate. |

Maiden Race 2000m
OZ MAP (14) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing a neck from the winner in second over 2000m at Kyoto. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. KRANS CROWN (12) wound up strongly last time out to finish a neck adrift in second over 2000m at Kokura when resuming after a break. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. MEISHO ROSE (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 2 lengths into second over 1800m at Kokura. Should park just off the speed. Capable of testing this field. LES AILES FORTES (4) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Kunihiko Watanabe. By Bricks And Mortar from Aile Du Reve. Watch the market closely. |

Allowance Race 1600m
EDEL WEG (3) is a talented galloper overdue for a win. Solid fresh and won only try second-up. Improver with winning prospects. FATE LINE (11) tried to lead throughout and just run down last time. Won only try course and distance. Well placed and sure to prove tough to beat. T O STEIN (10) gave a big start but stormed home fresh to place. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Allowance Race 1800m
ALANA KOA (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 22 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes well this course and distance and can take this out. STOP YEARNING (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1700m at Kokura Dirt when returning from a spell. Among the leading chances. MAXIMUM VISTA (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Kokura Dirt over 1700m last time, finishing eighth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can make amends. TAGANO ANIMACION (10) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. |

YUKIYANAGI SHO 2400m
KISHIDANCHO (2)was too good on debut then put away again. Has big upside and looks a talented type. Expected to run well. SHADOW MASTER (3) is a talented colt expected to measure up over the longer journey. Expected to prove hard to beat. VALLOMBROSA (7) is better than last run.

KONAN STAKES 1800m
TESTIMONE (5) is back from a three months spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt at the start of last prep. Will be tough to beat. GOLD DYER (12) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing 11th over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt last start. Disappointing last time but was a course and distance winner the start prior. Capable of a better run. KANETOSHI GOAT (9) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt on November 16. Comes here with definite top-three claims. TAMAMO CALICOT (11) last raced when successful by a neck over 1800m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and three placings. Looks a strong top-three prospect. |

CULTURE DAY (7) returns off a break after racing below best last time in. All three career wins have been fresh. Won this last year leading throughout. Expected to go close. ASK ONE TIME (8) came from near last to finish runner-up last time. Top chance. GRAND EST (13) has gone a long time since a win but excels fresh. Look for a bold run. JO MEDVIND (9) was a strong winner fresh and goes well second-up. Should be tough to stop again. |

Allowance Race 1400m
MORNING MAGIC (8) looks the one. Ready to win after two runs back and all best form is this trip. Gets chance. SNEAKER SKILL (5) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Credentials hard to fault. MIRAI TAILOR (7) ran a better race last start when she made late ground to finish a close second over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. LOVE ON TOP (6) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt when she did her best work late, beaten 0.8 lengths. Fitter for that run. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run. |
