Race 1 1000m
CRYSTAL TEN (3) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 5.5 lengths from the winner in sixth at this course and distance. Better than last start and open to sharp improvement. FAST PASS KEY (2) lines up on the back of a 8 length fifth over 1000m at this track. Ticks all the right boxes. GUREKO (5) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1000m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. DAN STONE ROSA (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into 11th. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

Race 2 1000m
NEOS TERAS (3) was a gutsy winner last time over 1000m at this track, scoring by 1.75 lengths to make it two wins in a row. Toshiya Yamamoto has been the pilot at his last two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. BLAU HORIZON (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fifth in a 1000m contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. COSMO LEMBRANCA (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. LA MIA VITA (2) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1000m at this track after being up on the pace until straightening. Best figures measure up nicely. In the mix. |

Race 3 1200m
A SHIN NUCIMASNU (9) started at $7.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1200m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FAURE (4) is still a maiden after 14 starts. Could only manage to finish seventh last time out over 1200m at this track following a minor placing at Mizusawa over 1300m the run prior. Likely to play a major role. SUNRISE DAMASHII (2) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but tired to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. PRISM SPECTRE (1) was beaten 17 lengths into eighth over 1400m at this track at her latest appearance. Suitably placed so can turn things around. |

Race 4 1200m
BIRD HAS FLOWN (3) turned in a fine effort to score by 10 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. IVY SPINEL (4) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only a neck over this course and distance. Should be prominent from the outset. Will play a major role. KITANO COUVER (9) just missed last time when a nose away in second at this track over 1200m. Genuine contender. KURENAINO HIME (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m. Likely improver with strong prospects. |

Race 5 1200m
YAMATO (1) turned in a sound effort last time when third over 1400m at this track. Back in trip this time. Strong run last time and is expected to go well again. COSMO BELLAESTELLA (9) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then stuck on well to finish 6 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. CURREN THE BOUQUET (8) finished 6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1000m at this track a week ago. Steps up in journey today. Backmarker who gets home hard. One to consider. BE MAGICAL (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 18 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form. |

Race 6 1400m
LOVE ME HENRY (3) ran fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track, finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Leading contender. SANDROCK (1) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at this track. Should feature in the finish again. TAKAMAKI SIX (8) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 16 lengths away in 12th over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. MOZU HOMMADEKKA (7) settled well back but hit the line well to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1400m here last time. Well placed and is among the chances. |

Race 7 1400m
GRAND LIVE (9) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when sixth over 1400m at Mizusawa. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. SASUKE BELLA (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. TUNA STUDY (10) finished a 28 length ninth on dirt at Mizusawa two back. Switched to turf last time at Tokyo over 2400m and again missed the frame, finishing a 19 length 17th. Will find this much easier. Should measure up in this field. TREMOLO (7) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate his win at Monbetsu when returning from a spell last prep. Now under the care of new trainer Yuichi Saito. Looks a strong top-three prospect. |

Race 8 1000m
GO PLATINUM (8) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 6 lengths away in second over 850m at Mizusawa. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. LOGI MUSTANG (3) was well in commission last start over 850m at Mizusawa when fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths. Yuri Takahashi who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Sure to play a big role. M T WALTZ (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1400m at Kanazawa after being prominent at the turn. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. LIBERTE (6) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1600m at Mizusawa on November 24. Looks a strong top-three prospect. |

Race 9 1000m
ARRACK (5) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1200m. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. ROBERTA CARINA (7) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 850m at Mizusawa. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Big chance once again. MAKOTO DAITOREN (4) is overdue for a win with three placings from five starts this prep, the latest effort a second over 1200m at this track. Don't underestimate. IKIZAMA (6) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance. |

Race 10 1400m
FREEWHEELING (9) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CAMP FIRE (3) was fresh from a break of five months last start when beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 1200m at this track. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Can win this without surprising. TERUTE (10) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MANACOR (1) has switched yards since finishing 12th four weeks ago over 2000m at Urawa. Well-placed and is among the chances. |

Race 11 1400m
APOLLO PLANET (7) continued the solid form last start, finishing a neck back in second at this track over today's trip. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. NICE CAPPUCCINO (8) made it three wins in succession last time out when he scored by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. SUZUKA PANTHER (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five runs. Expect a bold showing. NAMURA BOSS (4) produced a reasonable effort when third last start over 1400m at this track. That followed a win at Mizusawa the start prior. Finds a suitable race and can run a bold race. |

Race 12 1600m
SHIMASAN BLACK (8) met with solid support last start over 1800m at this track when fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths. This trip suits so worth another chance. FOR ELISE (3) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1600m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to take this out. BLAAVEIS (6) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by one length over 1600m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Solid top-three chance. OPTICS (5) finished 12 lengths adrift in ninth last time over 1600m at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to bounce back. |
