Race 1 1400m
BRIGHT MELODY (9) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished seventh over 1400m at this track. Has ability and deserves another chance. AFFIRMATIVE (4) failed to figure last time over 1400m at this track when sixth. Backmarker who gets home hard. Solid contender. MACHIDANO CHIEKO (2) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 10. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. YEUX NOIRS (7) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Has ability and must be included in calculations. |

Race 3 1400m
BLUFF CATCH (2) is on debut for the Kenichi Takatsuki stable. Two-year-old colt by Mozu Ascot from Face Mark. Should hit the ground running. Watch for positive market moves. IT'S MY SOUL (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut by Pyro from Synergy Whisper who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Kenichi Takatsuki yard. Promising type who is ready to run a bold race. GOLD SUNDAY (6) is a well bred two-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Copano Rickey from Sweet Clementine who has been a successful producer. Looks one of the better chances despite an awkward barrier. DRAGON LIGHT (1) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Yoshihisa Suzuki. By Beach Patrol from Shadow Mask.

Race 4 900m
MOMONO KOTONOHA (9) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. MUSIK HOREN (6) is a 15-start maiden who finished 12th at her most recent appearance over 900m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. SOUND PRIMO (1) returns from a spell of five months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Kyoto Dirt over 1400m when first-up last time in work. Sure to make her presence felt. MONKEY KOALA (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Funabashi. Fitter this time in a suitable race will prove harder to beat. |

Race 5 1400m
ELKYO (9) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1500m at this track. Sure to run well. AIR SHALLOW (3) missed the frame last start over 1500m at Urawa when fifth. Likely improver with strong prospects. LUCETTA (6) was unwanted in the market when resuming last start at this track over 1400m and finished fourth. Can do much better this time with the run under her belt. SEIUN KOCHO (5) missed the placings when disappointing 11th over 2000m at Urawa. Finds a nice race and can make amends. |

Race 6 1400m
DRAMATURGY (11) has not appeared since she scored over 1600m at Mizusawa on December 1. Has switched to the Yuya Yamazaki stable. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MASANO PREZIOSO (9) raced on the speed when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Funabashi but couldn't finish the job and wound up in sixth. Sure to strip fitter this time around. Should park just off the speed and can play a major role. BALIKPAPAN (6) again failed to feature last start, finishing ninth over 1200m at Funabashi. Expected to feature if at her best. GALVANIC (3) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1400m at Urawa only to fade late and finish fourth. Sure to give a sight. |

Race 7 900m
NARINO BISCUITS (3) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 800m at Urawa after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver. ELELE LANAKILA (6) turned in a sound effort last time when third over 1200m at Funabashi. Back in trip this time. Strong run last time and is likely to be in the finish. MANI SCENE (7) did little and finished eighth over 1400m at this track last start after being in the firing line on the turn. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. CORTHYLIO (5) is a 23-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close third over 900m at this track. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to feature. |

Race 8 1400m
SANONO TARUMAE (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at Urawa two starts back then landed the prize by a neck last time out over 1400m at Urawa. Key runner. RUNNING HOT (7) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing seventh after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up and can run well on best. NOBLE WHISPER (12) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track when sixth. Expected to feature if at her best. NARINO EMBLEM (2) has switched yards since finishing 18th two months ago over 1400m at Chukyo. Well-placed and is among the chances. |

Race 9 1400m
IVY GAO (12) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1600m at Funabashi. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. TAKI (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at Urawa. Should be nice and fit fourth up and can get the win here. BORDEAUX TIRAMISU (3) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders. UWASANO ANOKO (4) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 2 lengths over 1500m at Urawa. Must be included. |

Race 10 2000m
DEFINITIVO (6) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back with success as favourite over 2000m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Expected to go close again. ISANA (7) finished fifth last time out over 1600m at Ohi two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Sure to run well. COURECHOUSE (11) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from six outings this prep, finishing second most recently over 2000m at this track. Among the leading chances. VIV AIR (3) improved last start to finish third over 2000m at Urawa. Another forward showing is anticipated. |

Race 11 1600m
SNOWSHOE (8) returns from a break of six months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1500m at this track. Ideally placed to score while fresh. DREAM JAPAN (4) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Has a solid record at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. STAR GRIP (2) was a gutsy winner two runs back then ran fourth over 1400m at Ohi on April 17. Has a strong record at this course, scoring six times from 10 starts. One of the main contenders. MISS MARGAUX (9) is having her first run since March 4. Has a very good fresh record, scoring five times including one over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Can make her presence felt while fresh. |

Race 12 1500m
BOULDER OPAL (10) was never in contention when sixth in a 1200m contest at Funabashi six-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably placed and up in distance can go a bold race. FEED WIN (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Has never missed the frame second up. Nicely placed to take this out. FUKUNO BARTHERANS (4) hasn't been able to break through for a while, the latest effort an eighth over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and gets a chance. OTOKO YUME RAKU (11) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing tenth over 1400m at this track. Worth noting his second up record is strong. Capable of featuring. |
