Maiden Race 1400m
RHEIN SIEG (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt. Likely improver with winning claims. TAISEI MONOLITH (14) finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt after he was in contention on the bend. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. JAGUAR RISE (5) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt on February 21. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. WHELM (6) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. |

Maiden Race 1800m
OTSUKA (1) went forward from a wide gate latest and just missed. Better drawn this time. Good effort last start and can build on that performance. GEISTREICH (13) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Ran very well only other fresh run. Nicely placed and expected to go well. MEISHO SASSO (5) has not been sighted since he finished eighth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt on January 11. Best figures measure up favourably. NORINO DRAGON (7) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish seventh, beaten 5 lengths, over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Sure to be winding up late. |

Maiden Race 1600m
FRECCIA AZZURRA (12) started favourite last time over 1600m at Hanshin but found one better, making it three minor placings from four career starts. Suited in this and expected to go close. THRILLER NIGHT (1) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1600m at Hanshin. Among the leading chances. DANON PRELUDE (14) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1800m at Tokyo. Among the chances while fresh. TIGRIS (7) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Epiphaneia from Atab who has been a fine producer including a winner at G1 level. Promising type who can play a big role. |

Maiden Race 1400m
VALENTINE VISTA (16) returned last time with a solid second at Kokura over 1200m after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. WADI AL RIYAH (2) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1200m at Nakayama. Nicely placed and expected to go well. SUSSAN AIR (15) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fourth, beaten 1.75 lengths, last time over 1200m at Kokura. Debut run was good and she looks a great chance to open the account. GENTEN (9) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Fitter and sure to run well. |

Maiden Race 2200m
MEISHO NARUKAMI (1) was fourth on debut then runner-up all four since. Fitter and expected to get off the mark this time. HEY JUDE (7) placed on debut then missed the frame but not far away this trip latest. Genuine contender in this suitable contest. LA VILLETTE (14) is a well-related three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Satono Diamond from Guillem who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Y Ikee yard. MEISHO HERBS (10) was beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth in a 2000m contest at Hanshin last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around. |

Allowance Race 1400m
HIMINO ETOILE (6) returns from a spell. Finished fourth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is sure to run well. LA LA BACCHANALE (5) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Among the leading chances. SCHNEE (15) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1700m at Kokura Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. The engagement of Yutaka Take is a positive move. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ACQUAMARINA (2) is a handy type who resumes after a break of 12 weeks. At her last appearance she finished fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Deserves respect on best figures. |

Allowance Race 1800m
ARC D'OR (15) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2400m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Course and distance winner and expected to go close. TOA KERKYRA (9) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on December 14 when second, beaten a neck. Should park just off the speed. Placed 4/5 so far. Likely to feature. RED EUROS (6) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has a decent second up record. Ready to find peak form this time. KOKODE IKKU (13) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish. |

Allowance Race 2000m
ELINA STORM (10) produced a solid effort last time when fourth over 1800m at Tokyo after she was handy all the way. Placed 3/3 course and distance. Ready to win and looks the testing material. MEISHO ISLE (4) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 2000m at Kokura, finishing 8 lengths back in 12th after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEINER ARES (9) finds it hard to win with just one success from 17 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1800m at Tokyo, beaten 2.75 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. MADEMOISELLE ASK (7) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 2000m at Kokura when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.4 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims. |

IRAGO TOKUBETSU 1200m
CEREJEIRA (14) won only try course and distance and unbeaten from two tries this trip. Better than fresh-up run but fitter. Looks a big improver. HURRICANE (8) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, making it two minor placings in a row. Should be prominent from the outset. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. PEREGRINE (13) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when she scored by 5 lengths over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Fitter for that last hitout and can go on with it. APRIL IN PARIS (15) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.1 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. |

SHORYU STAKES 1400m
ZENKAI NADAL (9) looks a promising colt. Cleared right out to win by a space on debut when heavily bet. Has upside and can make it back to back wins. HERITAGE BLOOM (7) is yet to miss the frame from five runs including a win this trip. Likely to play a major role. T O GLASER (1) returns from a layoff of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. One to consider. MAGIC COOKIE (10) scored last start at Tokyo Dirt to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Gets back but will wind up late. Deserves respect on best figures. |

THE TOKAI TV HAI KINKO SHO 2000m
JUNE TAKE (2) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by half a length over 2200m in the G2 Kyoto Kinen. Has two wins from four starts at this circuit. Fitter again and drawn to take beating. QUEEN'S WALK (12) goes well fresh and unbeaten course and distance, including this race last year. Not far away over 2000m in the G1 Tenno Sho (Autumn) at Tokyo four-and-a-half months ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Looks a winning chance while fresh. WILLEM (6) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 2000m in stakes class at Tokyo. Should be near his peak for this. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. DOURADORES (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 2200m at Nakayama when resuming after a break. Goes very well at this journey, boasting three wins from six starts and should run well. |

Allowance Race 1200m
SEXY MARGE (6) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 1200m at Kokura. Nicely placed to find winning form. VENTURA (13) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1200m at Kokura but wasn't all that far from the winner. Should be prominent from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. MAXIMUM DRIVE (3) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1200m at Kokura after he was prominent at the turn. Should be peaking now and is among the leading chances. WIN MASQUERADE (11) is back from a spell of 11 months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at Fukushima. Can make his presence felt. |
