Race 1 800m
G T GRACE (11) is back from a break of six months. Sat on the pace at her only start and held on well for third over 800m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but looks well placed to be in the finish again. CASTANEA ROSE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 800m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. OPAL GREEN (6) improved last start to finish second over 800m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TRUE BEAUTY (7) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third over 900m at Kawasaki. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. |

Race 2 800m
KLEIS AVANTI (4) was far too good first up last start when she scored by 3 lengths over 900m at Kawasaki. Open to plenty of improvement and another win looks on the cards. MEIJO STAR (5) recorded a strong maiden win over 800m at this track last time, getting there by 6 lengths. Winning rider Haruto Nakayama sticks and she is definitely worth including. THROUGH THE MILL (1) finished 13th two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 800m at this track, beaten only a neck after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DONA SOLAIRE (11) finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth at her most recent outing over 900m at Kawasaki. Likely to be thereabouts. |

Race 3 1500m
ASTRAL FLARE (10) recorded another success last time over 1800m at Funabashi making it two straight wins this campaign. Hard to fault on recent runs. REBAT (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. MAURITIUS AROMA (4) finished 11th over 1500m at this track at her most recent appearance on November 25. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. KITANO EN CIEL (9) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. |

Race 4 1300m
HIRO SHIGE CRYSTAL (3) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. MEIWA SHERRY (8) pushed forward from a wide draw when fresh from a spell last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fourth over 1300m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. YAMATO KACHIDOKI (7) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki. One of the main contenders. TAISHITAMONDARO (2) ran sixth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track, clocking in 3 lengths from the winner. Definite chance. |

Race 5 1400m
GIVRE (8) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past six starts. Last time out he finished second over 1500m at this track. Top chance once again. PRINCIPAL ACT (1) showed good speed to lead over 1500m at this track last start but faded right out of it to finish seventh. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. RHEIN ARTEMIS (4) last raced just six days ago when sixth over 1200m at Funabashi. Should be competitive in this suitable race. DANCING ERIKA (2) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1500m at this track, finishing 10 lengths back in 11th. Open to improvement and should be about the mark. |

Race 6 1500m
LONG BEACH (1) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 800m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MISTRA (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 2000m at this track. Has the class to take care of this field. SCHWEIGEN (5) bounced back last start and landed the prize by a nose after being in the firing line on the corner over 1500m at Kawasaki. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. MARUZENSKY TWO (10) has not won for over a year, the latest running second at Kawasaki over 1400m. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Deserves respect on best figures. |

Race 7 1500m
HAYABUSA APO CHAN (1) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a head last start over 1400m at Kawasaki. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has four wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. PUBLIC SPHERE (6) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 8 lengths as favourite over 1500m at this track. Ryo Novata scored on him last time and retains the mount. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOT EMPEROR (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. TOSEN ADELAIDE (5) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Scored a determined win at her final run last campaign at this track over 1400m. Has found the right race and is worth including. |

Race 8 1400m
RIKO MICA (9) started at $1.60 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 3 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Has a high cruising speed. Will give a great sight. GREAT SPIRIT (6) drew wide last time and was safely held when fifth over this track and trip. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see him run well. DERMA TSURIDASHI (11) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth at his latest appearance over 1400m at Kawasaki. Can play a significant role. HAYAO (8) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 1400m at this track. Fitter so can feature in the finish. |

Race 9 1400m
YAMATAKE KOCHAN (9) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1400m at this track four months ago. Has a high cruising speed. Likely to feature. RIKKIO (10) turned things around last start and scored by 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. IVY BLITZ (12) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 2 lengths away in third over 1500m at Kawasaki. Should go forward from the awkward gate. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. APPRAISER (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 27 when beaten 6 lengths into fourth at this track over 1500m after being in contention on the corner. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. |

Race 10 1500m
MIYAGI EMPEROR (2) turned in a sound effort last time when second over 2000m at Kawasaki. Back in trip this time. Draws in close and is expected to go well again. SADDLE (6) took advantage of the good draw last start and led for much of the way before finishing third, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1600m at Kawasaki. Solid run last time and will take catching again. DAIBA YATAGARASU (11) improved last start to finish second over 1500m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ICHIKANO YUME (10) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 11 1400m
SUNS (4) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by a nose. Has a strong association with Tsubasa Sasagawa who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Sure to play a big role. WELWITSCHIA (3) has seven wins and four minor placings from 15 outings this preparation. Scored last start by 2 lengths at this track over 1400m after being racing in the leading division. This looks the ideal assignment. SUN CAPRICE (12) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. NAATU (5) scored last start at Kawasaki to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Solid claims on recent form. |

Race 12 2000m
VOGELWEIDE (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. ROUGE MAAT (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. KIMITO YUMEOKAKERU (8) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 2000m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to turn things around. UMBRELLA DANCE (2) has been thereabouts, the latest finishing sixth over 2000m at this track but overdue for another win. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can feature in the finish. |
