Race 1 1400m
MAPLE DEEP (11) was out of the money first-up but has progressed nicely since, last start finishing third at this track over 1400m. Greta chance to break through. ONIGIRI (5) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was eighth over 820m at this track. Strips fitter and can find the winners' list. FULL LIMIT (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. COMBAT MOMOHIME (1) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fifth last start over 1400m at this track. Sits handy in the run. Likely improver. |

Race 3 1400m
SUNRISE GREAT (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Well placed and a key runner. BLESSING ISLE (3) showed good early speed and led around the bend last start before being cut down, finishing fourth over this journey at this track.

Fitter and shapes as one to consider. MERKUR (2) turned in a better run last start when fifth over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see her in contention. |

Race 4 1400m
SMART RAVE (8) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track. In the mix on best. SHAN DIAN (1) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing tenth over 1230m at this track last start. Capable of a lot more.

PAI RATANA (6) failed to feature last start, finishing eighth over 1230m at this track. Can feature in the finish. |

Race 6 1400m
MAGO ICHITA (8) continued the encouraging form and wasn't far away last time when second over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed and rates highly off that run. Can go one better. INGRID ROSE (7) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1400m, beaten half a length. Cherry-ripe now and ready to win.

Race 7 1400m
MIRACLE ACE (5) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 2.5 lengths into second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Freshened up and will be hard to hold out. DEMON SLAYER (2) lines up for the first time since August 17. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Has switched to the Ishibashi Mitsuru stable. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. BRING JOY (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SMART CANON (4) turned in a fine effort to score by 6 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Has his share of talent and finds another suitable race. |

Race 8 820m
BELLAGIO MASAKI (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 820m after being prominent from the outset. Awkwardly drawn and might need a little luck early but can run well. KURINO AWESOME (8) is racing well including a last start third over 1230m at this track. Expected to be in the finish. LILY PARK (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 820m at this track. Well placed and among the chances on her best form. TOP THE SMILE (2) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 820m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again. |

Race 9 1400m
FUKUNO FEAR NONE (5) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Kanta Inoue retains the mount. Major player. KAWAKITA HOKU LEA (6) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1400m at this track five months ago. Winning rider Tomohiro Yoshimura sticks. Expecting a bold showing fresh. KURINO CHAMP (7) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Struggling to break through but is expected to be in the finish. ALL THE RAGE (3) is racing well, most recently finishing second three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. |

Race 10 1700m
LIGHT PILLAR (8) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 2000m at Himeji. Ideally placed to score while fresh. EIFER CAP (6) finished second two runs back here then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths as public elect over 1700m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. TRANSCENDENCE (4) fought on for third last start over 1870m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. ANTHRACITE (1) very honest galloper who has placed at his past two starts each in similar company to this. Chased solidly at this track last start when third. Winning rider back aboard. Rates highly. |

Race 11 1230m
LUX METEOR (10) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1230m at this track, scoring by a neck. Open to plenty of improvement and looks sure to be in the finish again. A SHIN WAND (7) is returning from a spell of six months. Finished 15th at Fukushima over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Tadaaki Hashimoto. One of the better hopes despite the layoff. HANABUSA (11) is knocking on the door after just missing last time over 1230m at this track. Going well enough to overcome the tricky draw. Z KAREN (4) won here two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing seventh over 1230m at this track. Should be competitive in this suitable race. |

Race 12 1400m
COSMO SANVITALIA (4) got home by half a length last time out over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in three starts over this course and distance. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. RIPOSINO (11) finished second when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths over 1870m at this track. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. HAGINO KA NOA (9) proved too strong two runs ago here but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1700m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. G T TRUE (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Well placed and will be thereabouts again. |
