Race 1 850m
JOE BAROWS (1) is a two-year-old colt who lines up for the first time. From a family of winners, being by Van Gogh from Juliet Song. Comes out of the strong juvenile stable of Isao Sugawara. Should get all the favours from this good gate and looks the one they have to beat. DAISEN SMILE (7) is a two-year-old filly on debut by Hokko Tarumae from Bewitched who has been a prolific producer of winners. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Should be thereabouts despite an awkward draw. BLACK ROOKIE (3) is facing the starter for the first time. By Gold Dream and is out of the Kudou Yuukou stable. Any push in betting should be respected. MIZUSAN AMONT (4) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Shinichi Hatakeyama. By Isla Bonita from Fancy Amont. Worth watching for a betting push. |

Race 2 1300m
DIOPHANTUS (8) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. KIRAN (6) finished 6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1000m at Morioka Dirt a week ago. Steps up in distance today. Solid top-three chance. GRACE IRIS (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. EVER ARIELLE (9) failed to figure again last time over 1200m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 10 lengths into eighth. Backmarker who keeps coming. Not to be discounted. |

Race 3 1300m
CHARIS THEIA (2) is a 10-start maiden who was in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. MIENO SIRIUS (6) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage fifth over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Rates highly on best figures. G T BEAT (1) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Solid top-three hope. YOTSUBA MITCHI (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when ninth over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. Hard to beat in this suitable race. |

Race 4 1300m
YAMANIN L'ALLIANCE (9) went fast early and went on to score by half a length when resuming last time out over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SPARROWS (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Funabashi, beaten 8 lengths into 12th. Faces an easier assignment so he will be hard to beat. ANIMAL KIRISHIMA (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RAMESSES (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1200m at Morioka Dirt after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to maintain the form. |

Race 5 850m
DEATH ROLL (9) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.5 lengths at Morioka Dirt over 1000m. One of the top chances again. LENIS (4) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PALM ISLE (5) finished 12 lengths behind the winner in ninth over 1000m at Morioka Dirt last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. KITA QUEEN (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 19 when beaten 4 lengths into sixth at this track over 850m after being in contention on the turn. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. |

Race 6 1600m
OLOPATADINE (5) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished 11 lengths away in tenth last time out over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt seven weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Happy to have him on top in this field. TOCHINO HERO (11) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Morioka Dirt over 1600m, beaten one length. Ryoto Tsukamoto who has three wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. CREPUSCULUM (1) is a four-year-old entire who is still a maiden after 10 starts but has been in the placings four times. Safely held when resuming last start over 2890m at Niigata, finishing 12th and beaten 84 lengths. Backmarker who keeps coming. Watch for a big run. GOLD CREST (8) settled well back before finishing 7 lengths adrift in seventh over 1600m at Morioka Dirt last time. Can feature on his best form. |

Race 7 1600m
ARU KANAE (12) made it two wins on the bounce last start when he scored by a nose over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running another bold race. VIN NATURE (9) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth beaten 2.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Going well without winning and looks well placed to break through. ALPHA SIRIUS (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1600m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. The engagement of Shinobu Murakami is noteworthy. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to bounce back. INDIE FILM (8) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. That followed a win at this track the start prior. In the mix. |

Race 8 1400m
BIG TAMATE ROOF (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Morioka Dirt over 1400m after being in contention all the way. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. RIKO ASTRA (2) booted up from a low draw to lead last start and went on to score by a neck at Morioka Dirt over 1200m. Will prove very tough to beat. NEVER EVER (6) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CAMP FIRE (9) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. |

Race 9 1400m
FREEWHEELING (8) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. Likely improver with winning claims. GOOD DAY SILENCE (3) was prominent from the outset and fought on for third last start over 1600m at Morioka Dirt, making it two minor placings in a row. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TAISEI FESTA (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Morioka Dirt after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SUZUKA PANTHER (5) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at Morioka Dirt at the previous outing. In the mix. |

Race 10 2000m
SEI CHRISTINA (2) scored by a head over 1600m at this track last start. Has a superb record at the course, unbeaten so far from five starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. BAOXUE TENSHI (7) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2.5 lengths. Looks the testing material again. BRION (4) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1600m at Morioka Dirt when he was handy all the way. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. LEGEND BAROWS (10) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was prominent at the bend before being beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth over 1800m at Morioka Dirt. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat. |

Race 11 1400m
GEMPACHI PRIDE (6) found plenty to salute by 1.5 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best figures should see him run well. NAMURA BOSS (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at Morioka Dirt after being prominent from the outset. Drawn for a good trail just off the pace. Likely improver with strong prospects. NICE CAPPUCCINO (5) saluted at Morioka Dirt two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing third over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Is yet to be beaten in two starts at this course and distance. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SATISFIER (1) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into sixth over 1000m at Morioka Dirt. Fitter so can figure in the finish. |
