Race 1 1400m
OWENS VALLEY (7) finished out of the money when seventh in a 1600m contest at this track a week ago. Likely improver. IN YOUR EYES (9) missed the frame last start over 1000m at Kokura Dirt, finishing ninth. Finds easier and can feature. CHERBOURG RAIN (8) has switched yards since finishing sixth five weeks ago over 1400m at Himeji. Can measure up for the new barn. M T PABLO (2) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, finishing eighth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. |

Race 2 1400m
SMART ALLISTER (8) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1400m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Key runner. ROYAL DANCE (4) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1300m at this track. Can make a big impact. S K DANDY (2) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing ninth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Has enough ability to be competitive in this line-up. AKIYAN (7) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1300m at this track. Anticipating a better performance. |

Race 3 1400m
BIG BAND BEAT (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when third over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PIN ZORO (2) made progress last time out, finishing third when he did his best work late at the end of 1300m at this track. Major player. FROSTY QUARTZ (9) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing seventh over 1300m at this track. Can feature in the finish. HAVANA ROSE (6) finished adrift in sixth last time over 1300m at this track in a disappointing performance. Open to improvement and should be about the money. |

Race 4 1400m
EGG HUNT (2) failed to live up to expectations over 1300m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run prior. Looks well placed and can atone. YAMANO IMPACT (1) finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1300m at this track. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. JO COMODO (7) saluted here two runs ago then last time out finished second over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Key runner. CHAMPION RIBBON (4) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track when fifth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

Race 5 1600m
SOKKO TARUMAKA (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from six outings. Big chance once again. OLIVE BRANCH (4) bounced back last start and got the job done by 3 lengths as public elect over 1600m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. COASTAL TERRACE (5) finished third just seven days ago over 1400m at this track. On the quick back-up over more ground. Strong run last time and is a leading contender. TROLLTUNGA (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when third over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a leading role. |

Race 6 1600m
MEISHO YONKU (4) was a most impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Has a good strike rate at this distance with four wins from five runs and is sure to play a big role. ISAAC BAROWS (5) resumes from a spell of four months and is having his first outing under new trainer Shinji Kudo. Finished fifth at Kyoto over 2000m at the opening run last time in work. Solid chance first-up for the new barn. NAMURA IRIS (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh starting at $4.60. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. PEPTIDE HINATA (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only a head over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects. |

Race 7 1600m
MIKKI STRIKE (10) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1600m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. ARDE YANO (3) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after a win here the start prior. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Capable of running a bold race. SEIUN GALLEON (4) proved too strong last start and scored by a neck over 1300m at this track. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Minoru Miyagawa stays on. Key runner. SCANDINAVIA (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 7 lengths at this track over 1400m. Has a formidable combination with Eita Inoue who has been aboard for her last four wins. One of the better hopes. |

Race 8 1400m
TAMAMO ITTOSEI (11) hit the frame two starts ago here but ran below par last time when sixth over 1300m at this track. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. NOBLE RUN (2) finished out of the money when fourth over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. TRAIN TRAIN (3) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fifth over 1300m at this track. Among the chances. DANON PEDRO (8) produced another moderate effort last start when tenth over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form. |
