Race 1 1400m
THREE ROSE (3) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance 11 weeks ago. Rates highly and should take some beating. NAMURA RUCOLA (11) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when third over 1400m at this track. Rates highly on the latest effort and is sure to run well again. ROYAL DANCE (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from five starts at this circuit. Faces an easier assignment so he can return to the winners' list. KURINO BERGMAN (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track, finishing 9 lengths from the winner. One of the main contenders. |

Race 2 1400m
NITTO RAIJIN (10) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. COCOLI HAKUTAKU (11) was comfortably accounted for when ninth last time out over 1300m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. PRIMA FEVRE (2) improved last time out, finishing a long neck from the winner in third at the end of 1300m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CANON WOOD TAIL (3) was beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh over 1300m at this track last time out. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 3 1300m
ARDE TSUYOSHI (4) last appeared six weeks ago over 2400m at Nakayama Dirt when he finished 14th. This is his first run for the Kurakane Ikuyasu stable. Nicely placed here and expected to go well. T UP MACH (10) finished 8 lengths back in fifth over 1400m at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. CAPSULE (7) was a winner at this track over this distance two back then tackled a longer trip last time but failed to measure up when sixth at this track. Can bounce back. HARDBOILED (5) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1400m at this track then fought on gamely to finish third. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. |

Race 4 1300m
AT ONCE (1) had been in great form winning three on end before missing the frame last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. WIN LIBERALE (8) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten a long neck. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. NAVARONE (2) finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. One of the main contenders. CITY OF LONDON (3) drifted back over 1400m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 8 lengths. One to watch for in the concluding stages. |

Race 5 1300m
RHIZOMATICS (8) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SNARK SHUNSO (9) was far too good first up last start when he scored by 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and is among the leading chances. PLAISIR (1) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 7 lengths after being in contention on the bend over 1600m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. KAGEMARU (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again. |

Race 6 1600m
BIG SHOW TIME (3) finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a neck after being prominent at the bend over 1300m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. MAGIC TOUCH (10) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 1400m at this track at his latest appearance. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Expecting a bold showing. HOUYHNHNM (7) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will be in this for a long way. DIOS VALIENTE (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten 41 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects. |

DAORADAORA (10) scored last time over 1400m at this track, making it five victories from eight appearances this time in. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Likely to feature. BEAM (7) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 2 lengths as public elect last time out over 1300m at this track. Shuji Akaoka scored on him last time and retains the ride. Has the talent to figure prominently. GEMMA (4) turned in a better effort to finish third last start, beaten 0.6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. One of the contenders. SNOW HORN ROAD (1) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths at this track over 1400m. Worth another chance. |

Race 8 1600m
FLYER TRUE (9) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 1.3 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. BELL NO RAISE (3) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths starting at $5.10. Nicely placed to make amends. BYSTOL (6) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. The engagement of Minoru Miyagawa is noteworthy. Has the talent to figure prominently. WAKUWAKU DREAM (8) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at this track over 1600m on March 18. Can make her presence felt. |

Race 9 1600m
INAZUMA TAILOR (5) has switched yards since finishing fifth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Nagoya. Sure to take beating. ONE LEON (9) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to make amends. MOZU LIFE SAVER (8) finished 37 lengths behind the winner in tenth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score when fresh from a spell two runs back. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Winning claims on best figures. MUSASHI FUJIN (3) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. |

Race 10 1900m
SUNRISE SHEER (10) is in top form with two wins on end, the latest by a head over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. BERLINETTA (1) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. VIADUCT (5) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1300m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. KURINO DRAGON (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. |

Race 11 1300m
HACHIKIN MUSUME (9) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 8 lengths back in sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PRINCESS RORO (2) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fifth over 1400m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. CHAMPION RIBBON (3) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1400m at this track last start. Watch for a much better run. GOOD EXPRESS (6) was never in contention last time over 1400m at this track when he finished 11th, beaten 16 lengths. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. |
