Race 2 1400m
GENOVA FLAVOR (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only a nose over 1500m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEGA MILLION (7) finished fourth two runs back at Kawasaki then improved last time out to score by a neck after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at Kawasaki. No reason he cannot salute again. JAZZ PIANIST (11) returns from a spell. Finished sixth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Expected to cross from wide out. One of the main contenders. YASAKA SOLEIL (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1500m at Kawasaki. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards. |

Race 3 1400m
RENOVATIO (1) remains a maiden after 12 runs. Met with plenty of support last time but after being in the firing line on the bend could only manage to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. SHIMME FABLE (12) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. THINKING REVE (3) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at this track, scoring by one length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Has a low draw and he looks sure to be in the mix. INFER REVE (7) finished 10 lengths from the winner in sixth at his most recent outing over 1400m at Kawasaki after he got a long way back in the run.

Race 6 800m
SMILE THRIVE (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1500m on October 27. Looks a winning chance.

Race 8 800m
ARABIAN RAIN (9) is a talented galloper with a very good strike rate who finished off last campaign with a win over 1500m at this track on December 22. The first-up credentials are sound so he should launch this prep in a positive manner. KURINO WILLIAM (7) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 800m at this track, getting home by a neck. Winning rider Kosuke Sakurai retains the mount. It doesn't get any easier but on current form he is capable of another big performance. TITLE CALL (6) finished third last start over 800m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to take this out. NISHINO SIEG (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 800m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Strips fitter and can play a big role. |
