Maiden Race 1200m
BOUQUET DE LYS (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1200m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. KANREI STAR (7) is back after a break of nine weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Has ability and is a solid chance. COPANO CAMERON (4) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. LANGLOIS BRIDGE (5) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of H Toda. By Van Gogh from Logan Sapphire. Worth watching for a betting push. |

Maiden Race 1800m
TORNADO ISLE (7) returned last time with a solid third at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. NAC SPLENDOR (11) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Proving a good combination with Y Yoshida with three straight placings. Sure to play a big role. BLAZE RUNNER (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1800m. Nice alley so must be a leading chance again. TAKERU MUSASHI (8) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths at Tokyo Dirt over 2100m. Should be in the mix in this suitable race. |

Sure to go very well. NINJA TOTTORI (6) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt after being in the firing line on the turn.

Maiden Race 1800m
BLUE THERMAL (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1800m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. L'ARLESIENNE (16) showed ability at her only start back on December 27 when second over 1600m at Nakayama. Tricky draw to overcome but is among the leading chances. RATIONAL POINT (13) has not raced since her debut back on November 29 when she finished seventh over 1600m at Tokyo. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well. RUMBERA (8) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 7 lengths, after being in contention on the turn at her latest appearance over 1800m at Kyoto. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. |

FALCON MINORU (12) has gone an eternity since a win but has a win and seven minors from 10 tries course and distance. Placed last two and looks a strong winning hope again. BLADE SUCCESS (5) is very hot and cold but best figures stack right up. Drawn much better here and will take catching. BRISKY (8) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Likely improver with strong prospects. TAIKI INDRA (2) is back from a spell of three months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt.
