Maiden Race 1700m
LOGI MAGGIE (9) was lining up for just the second time last start when third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Coming along nicely and looks a great chance to break through this time. A SHIN KEEN RUN (6) returned from a spell last time with a solid third at this track over 1700m after being in contention on the corner. In the right race and is a winning hope. HOTEL STREET (10) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth. Strips fitter and is capable of sharp improvement. EIYU SAKURA (2) raced once in the maiden preparation when seventh at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m back on December 21. Open to plenty of improvement this time in work. |

Maiden Race 1200m
FUKUOTOKO (4) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1200m at Kokura. Has ability and is the one to beat in a race light on genuine chances. The clear danger is WITH A TWINKLE (8) who turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at Nakayama after being in contention on the bend. Back on track so expect another big run. PHILAE (11) closed last prep nine weeks ago when she finished seventh over 1800m at Kokura. Best figures stack-up nicely. Can make a positive return. BLUE HEARTS (2) is a four-start maiden who returned from a spell last time and finished fourth at this track over 1200m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. |

Maiden Race 2000m
ECORO DIAN (15) will find this a little easier than her third on debut two weeks ago, beaten 1.3 lengths at the end of 1800m at this track. Has a wide gate to overcome but she will be hard to beat. ERIKA AZZURRA (11) is on debut for the Y Tomomichi stable. Three-year-old filly by Lord Kanaloa. Looks set for a bright start to her career. Watch for positive market leads. REIZEND REISE (10) resumes. Finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 2000m at Hanshin seven months ago. Capable of testing this lineup. SHALWAR KAMEEZ (8) is appearing for the first time. By Siskin and comes from the Daiki Yajima stable. Top-three chance. |

Maiden Race 1150m
NINJA TOTTORI (8) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt when he was in the firing line all the way. In the market at the last three runs so a win looks overdue. KOSOKU LE LIEN (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Can build on that effort - strong prospects. FEEL MY PLAN (16) started at $7.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m after being handy on the bend. Anticipating a better run this time. BRAVE SOLDIER (7) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1200m at Kokura. Can do better on his return for a second campaign. |

Maiden Race 2000m
MIENO STRONG (8) is going well but is still a maiden after four runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 2000m at Kokura. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. HEROIC VERSE (13) is a five-start maiden who finished second over 2000m at Kokura last time out after being prominent at the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BRAND NEW HOME (11) finished third last time over 2000m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Finding form and poses a serious threat. TRECE DE ORO (15) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started last campaign in encouraging fashion before the form tapered. Solid top-three hope. |

Maiden Race 1700m
Not a lot separates the top handful of chances. GOLD BAROWS (10) led to the turn over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last time out but faded to finish seventh. Showed more resistance the run prior when second on debut over the same trip. Can bounce back. UNISON (13) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SHIN ENDO TSUDA (14) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth in a 1700m contest at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. ON THE (2) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Among the chances. |

Allowance Race 1200m
KYORAMUN (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 2.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. GRAND THERESE (1) battled on well to hold second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten a nose. Finally striking some form and looks sure to run well. SAY PLEASE (12) finished third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten only 0.6 lengths. Hitting form at the right time and this is not out of reach. CARNOUSTIE (6) finished less than a length away in fifth at Tokyo Dirt two back then followed up with a minor placing Nakayama Dirt over 1200m seven weeks ago. Looks set for another bold showing back on turf. |

Allowance Race 1700m
LE CHARMEUR (2) ran on strongly only to just miss first-up as favourite last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Will take a lot from that hitout. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Ready to finally win one. MATENRO KANALOA (4) held on well to finish second last start over 1700m at this track, beaten a neck, as favourite. Going well this prep - anticipating another big run. OKEN SILVER (12) finished just a nose from the winner in second last start over 1700m at this track after racing in the leading division. Drawn out but can cross. Has his share of ability and looms as a genuine contender. KOKODE IKKU (10) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth in a 1900m contest at Chukyo Dirt four weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

YUKIUSAGI SHO 1200m
LOGI CAPE (2) is racing well. Scored at Kokura two back then finished third, beaten 2 lengths, over 1200m at Nakayama at the latest appearance six weeks ago. Should settle handy in the run. Sure to be in the finish. HAPPY LUCKY (14) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1200m at Nakayama, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. MOONLIT ISLE (7) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs including last prep when second over 1200m at Kyoto. One of the better prospects. MELONE (16) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1200m at Chukyo, scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder here but should be involved in the finish. |

IOJI TOKUBETSU 1200m
VENTURA (16) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fourth at Kokura two starts back then landed the prize by 0.8 lengths as public elect last time out after being in contention on the corner over 1200m at Chukyo. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. VENT VIVE (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Well placed and can find winning ways. WINSTON (4) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fifth at Kokura two starts back then landed the prize by 3 lengths last time out after being in the firing line on the turn over 1200m at this track. Meets a stronger line-up but he is worth serious consideration. CHEVEUXBLONDSREVRE (14) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 2 lengths. In the mix. |

FUKUSHIMA CHUO TV HAI 1150m
SNOW SILENCE (4) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of 12 weeks and looking to emulate her win at Niigata Dirt to kick off the last campaign. Looks the testing material. GOLD HAMMER (7) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break three-and-a-half months ago over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Will race up on the speed and is right in this. GENERALE (1) finished 7 lengths from the winner in eighth last start after being in contention on the turn over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, an improvement on his 15th at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Has his share of talent when on song. Keep in mind. KITANO SOIREE (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 2.5 lengths. Another forward showing is anticipated. |

Allowance Race 1800m
CUTIE LIP (9) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth in a 2000m contest at Nakayama three weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. ENERGY SHOT (11) was safely held when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form at big odds. LEMON BALM (12) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 1600m at Chukyo when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver who can give this a shake. GRAND SAISON (1) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on February 8, finishing tenth and beaten 7 lengths over 1800m at Kokura. Can bob up while fresh. |
