NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:25 Race 1 1500m
WINK MAID (2) is yet to break through after 20 starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1500m at this track. Has a strong finish. Overdue and looks a great chance to open winning account. SODACHIZAKARI (3) opened this prep with a win two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1700m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to make amends. TSUKIKAGE (6) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DUAL BLADE (4) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when ninth here over 1500m. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
2 12:55 Race 2 1500m
SURF GALAXY (9) scored an impressive win by 3 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1500m at this track. Record at this trip is excellent and he looks hard to stop again. LAMINGTON (5) was well in commission last start over 1700m at this track when seventh. Can atone. HIOGI (1) had been racing consistently, finishing in the money two races on end, until finishing sixth as favourite last time out over 1500m at this track. Better than the last effort and can bounce back. ANFANG (2) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and can keep improving.
3 01:25 Race 3 1500m
JEANIE (6) took advantage of the good draw last start and led for much of the way before finishing third over 1700m at this track. Sure to go well. SALT CHANCE (7) improved last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Has her share of ability and finds a suitable race. MONT SAINT KATIE (3) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Hard to knock. SCHON SERENADE (8) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when eighth over 1700m at this track. Can atone.
4 02:00 Race 4 1500m
ASPRO GAIA (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1500m at this track, scoring by half a length. Inside draw will assist and she is sure to go well again. SACRIFICE (5) took advantage of the good draw and led for much of the way last start before being run down in the straight, finishing fifth over 1500m at this track. Expected to measure up. RIKEA DIMBULA (3) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1500m at this track. Rates highly on best figures and look for an improved run. QUEEN MITSUKO (8) turned in a strong run last time when she settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only half a length into third over 1500m at this track. Will be running on late again and can feature.
5 02:40 Race 5 1500m
MARCHE (9) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1500m. Winning chance. GEOPARK KOHAKU (1) finished a disappointing tenth over 1700m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Well-placed to return to winning form. PERSONAL RECORD (7) ran a better race and finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MARQUE DE COEUR (6) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1500m at this track. One of the main contenders.
6 03:10 Race 6 1500m
BY MYSELF (5) did a great job to score by a nose over today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Likely to be there at the finish again. DIPUTAR AZUL (2) ran well below his best last time over 1500m at this track, finishing sixth at $4.50. Can bounce back. LINK STARTS (6) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1700m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect fresh. ONE HEART (8) has recorded back-to-back minor placings, the latest when third over 920m at this track. Can play a role in the outcome.
7 03:45 Race 7 1500m
NOBORI YUMIN (1) four-year-old filly with multiple wins at this journey. Did little and finished seventh over 1500m at this track last start. Capable of more. SATONO PATHOS (10) turned things around last start and landed the prize by one length over 1500m at this track. Worth noting Takahiro Imai goes aboard. Anticipating another big run. ANYA AZAZAMASU (5) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. In the mix. DRAGON LUCK (3) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when seventh over 1500m at this track. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
8 04:15 Race 8 1500m
TUNA FORTY (3) recorded another success last time over 1500m at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Easy winner last time and looks the testing material again. BELLEZA FIN (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1500m at this track. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance. GOURMAND (5) started at $1.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth at this track over 1500m. Nicely placed to bounce back. A SHIN IPIN (7) raced on the pace over 1700m at this track last time and went on to win by 3 lengths. Not to be discounted.
9 04:50 Race 9 1400m
BEAR FORCE ONE (6) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and kept going to win by a head over 1400m at this track. Sure to run well again. BIARRITZ (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Looks well placed and she is worth including. GOLD LANE (8) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1400m at this track. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. FLEUR DE LUNE (5) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. This looks a good race for her and she is one of the key runners.
10 05:25 Race 10 1500m
PAT JUNIOR (9) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on May 7 over 1500m when he got home by 0.8 lengths. Major player. MOISSANITE (6) is coming off a last-start fifth over 1500m at this track. Has a solid record here and can feature. SAMMAIME (8) got a long way back when eighth over 1500m at this track last start. Better than that run suggests and is in the mix. ARDOUR GROW (2) bounced back to form with a third-place run at this track after a less than encouraging ninth two back. Can keep form and looks ready to run well again.
11 05:55 Race 11 920m
STEEL ACTOR (10) was on a winning run of two races but last time out finished second over 920m at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. EVER SINCE (3) is a genuine type with three minor placings from three starts this campaign. Finished second last start over 1500m here and has the ability to find the winners' list. COPA KATSU (4) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth at this track over 1500m. Has the class to produce a better result. ORO VERDI (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
12 06:30 Race 12 1700m
YOSSHI RIO (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.5 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of another big run. HOKKAI DAIO (4) recorded a minor placing two starts ago at this track then couldn't handle better opposition last time when seventh over 2000m here. Anticipating sharp improvement. CAMERON (1) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 2000m at this track. Could be tough to stop again. ANRAKOR (5) mixes form but can feature on best.
