Race 1 1400m
GENOVA FLAVOR (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.5 lengths at this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Must raise the bar but another win beckons. YES YUI CAN (2) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1000m at Funabashi, finishing 6 lengths back in sixth after being in contention on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. A I KIRISHIMA (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. KOJIN KINKI (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at Funabashi, beaten 4.5 lengths. Nicely placed to maintain the form. |

Race 2 1400m
INO (9) was sent out at $20.90 last time but ran above expectations and won over 1400m at Kawasaki. Expected to run well again. REBAT (10) had been performing well prior to finishing 15 lengths from the winner in eighth last start over 1200m at Funabashi. Deserves another chance. SURF PLATINUM (1) was prominent into the straight last time but couldn't go on with it and finished fourth over 1500m at Funabashi. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MEISHO BENIBANA (11) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Kawasaki. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. |

Race 3 800m
RUBY TESORO (5) is a three-year-old filly by Orfevre out of Spokane Tesoro set to debut for the Satoshi Kokubo stable. Expected to go well, with betting a key indicator. SHINANO AMBER (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Meets a stronger field but she is capable of running a bold race. KYOEI ALADDIN (3) is a seven-start maiden who has been in the money three times, Could only manage ninth last time out over 1400m at this track. Goes well here with three top-three finishes to his credit. Will be thereabouts. KIMPATSU BIJIN (8) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish 13th at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise. |

Race 4 800m
FORTITUDE (4) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 2 lengths last time out over 900m at Kawasaki. Finds a suitable race and can take this out. BITTER MELON (6) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Kawasaki over 900m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Ryo Novata gets the best out of this three-year-old filly. Finds a nice race and can atone. SARA MISCHIEF (3) is resuming from a spell of five-and-a-half months and having her first run for the Takashi Mizuno yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Monbetsu over 1100m. Well-placed and is among the chances. LIGHTNESS (2) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 5 1500m
DOUBLE RAISE CARD (8) was prominent at the corner and finished a neck from the winner in second when resuming last start at this track over this distance. Has found the frame in all three starts at this journey, including two wins. Tsubasa Sasagawa who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. ORI'S GENIE (4) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1500m at this track, scoring by a nose. Will be better for that latest run and he is a major player again. TOMISAN PEGASUS (9) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3 lengths away in third over 1500m at Kawasaki when she was prominent throughout. Taking on a better line-up this time but she can win if at her best. AIR SHALLOW (6) has been freshened up since racing on the speed and fading to finish seventh over 1400m at this track on March 16. Capable of a much better performance. |

Race 6 1500m
MARRON LUPINUS (8) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when sixth over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. REIWA EPOCH (3) finished ninth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1500m at Funabashi, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Taking on a better field but she is capable of running a bold race. KITASAN EPONA (10) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to turn things around. M T LILAS (9) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 12 lengths into seventh over 1400m at this track. Second-up record is sound.

Race 7 1400m
CARAMEL SLIME (6) missed the frame last time when seventh at Funabashi. That followed a run of two wins on end. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Will play a major role. PALERMO FLAVOR (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over 1500m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. ACHILLEE (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at this track over 1300m on December 25. Can make her presence felt. MAURITIUS AROMA (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Strips fitter and can improve. |

Race 8 2000m
MADA YARUKAI (1) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1500m at Funabashi after being in contention on the bend three-and-a-half weeks ago as $2.10 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Should park just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. SAYONO BIG ALMA (2) broke through for his maiden win last start by half a length over 1400m at this track despite being unwanted in betting. Winning rider Keita Nishi stays aboard and he looks sure to be in the mix. ESPRIT AKIRASAN (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Kawasaki after being prominent at the corner. Going up a level this time but he cannot be overlooked. BASQUE REGION (3) was beaten 11 lengths into fifth over 1500m at Kawasaki last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

ECORO SVAR (5) has been freshened since being narrowly beaten last time, finishing second over 1500m at this track. Expected to go well. HOSHINI NEGAIO (1) last appeared eight weeks ago over 1200m at Kokura when she finished 14th. This is her first run for the Shinsuke Kudo stable. Leading hope who should be tough to stop. Solid top-three chance for the new barn. HARMONY ROI (2) finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at Funabashi three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Has a decent record at this track. Capable of a big run. DAIBA YATAGARASU (6) finished second over 1500m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1500m at this track.

Race 10 800m
TAMAMO ALTAIR (12) lines up for the first time since September 23. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 800m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating. SIENA WAVE (2) was prominent from the outset when second over 800m at this track last time out. Should be prominent from the low draw. Leading contender. SPEAKEASY (6) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Funabashi over 1000m last time, finishing 11th and beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. BODY CONSCIOUS (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track over 800m. Likely improver who should be about the mark. |
