Race 1 1500m
PLAYABLE GAME (8) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Could be hard to beat again in this suitable race. BLU ROSSO (3) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and stalked the lead before fading to finish sixth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and look for an improved run. COSMO NASHVILLE (9) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1700m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MISTY BLUE (10) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1400m at this track. Can turn things around. |

Race 2 1400m
MUGI GAKUDAN (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 920m at this track when second. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she shouldn't be a maiden for long. CHERRIKA KING (6) is back after a break of seven months. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1100m at Monbetsu. Nicely placed and expected to go well. UWASANO MOANA (8) finished seventh at her last appearance over 1400m at Kasamatsu on May 1 after she gave away a big start. Expected to feature in the finish this time. TAIKI FORTIS (10) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when sixth. Could add some value. |

Race 3 1500m
YUI BUY HOUSE (2) returned from a break and was on dirt for the first time when unplaced over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, 21 lengths from the winner. Expected to improve off the first outing on this surface and will pay to follow up here in a suitable race. MALANDRO (10) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs, last time finishing 15 lengths back in 17th over 1800m at Tokyo. Finds an easier assignment and is a winning hope. SHINE PREMA (7) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing back in 12th over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Forgive the last couple in tougher assignments. Can improve here. QUEEN'S ROSE (4) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track when sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

Race 4 900m
RINK THE END (1) is a two-year-old colt by Moanin out of Aino Fushigi set to debut for the Enokiya Mitsuru stable. Sure to acquit himself well. Betting the key. NOSTRA LUCE (2) is a two-year-old colt by American Patriot out of A Shin Fortuna set to debut for the Hiroyuki Imazu stable. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. KOMA MAIS (4) is on debut. By Chrysoberyl and is out of the Enokiya Mitsuru stable. Watch for a betting push. DIVINUS (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Masato Yokoi.

Race 5 1500m
SURF GALAXY (10) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. No reason he cannot salute again. BOW APPEARS (12) resumed over 1500m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and can go on with it. BEAR SHOT (1) did little and finished seventh over 1500m at this track last start. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. NOVA ESPERANCA (4) produced another moderate effort last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and worth another chance. |

Race 6 1400m
KAWATEN TIARA (9) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start was just edged out when runner-up over 1500m at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. T O LIPPMANN (1) saluted last start at this track over 1500m after he was in contention on the corner. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. SEIUN PIKAICHI (6) saluted here two runs ago then last time out finished second over 1500m at this track, beaten one length. Well placed and a key runner. TABEZAKARI (12) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Can atone. |

Race 7 1500m
HAKUSAN SHUTTLE (11) showed good speed over 1500m at this track and led throughout to score. Has the early speed to cross from out wide and should prove tough to beat. BRILLO DORADO (6) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1500m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. WAY KEY (4) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed and has top three prospects. SHONAN RAFFINE (5) was underwhelming last start when tenth over 1500m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. In the right race and can be competitive. |

Race 8 1700m
WAR OF SOUND (2) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a nose over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. TERUKEN LEINSTER (10) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1600m at Ohi. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Junki Mochizuki but has the class to take care of this field. ECUMENOPOLIS (6) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with a head to spare over 1500m at this track. Will be in this for a long way. VAL DE GRACE (4) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1500m at this track only to fade late and finish fourth. Can feature in the finish. |

Race 9 1500m
YAMAKATSU RAIKO (1) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win again. SCERA VENUS (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at this track over 1500m, beaten 1.2 lengths. Katsuto Maruno stays on. Should be in the finish. SUSPENSE QUEEN (10) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by half a length. Tricky draw to overcome but she can feature. MORANGO (4) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when ninth over 1500m at this track. Well placed and worth plenty of thought. |

Race 10 1700m
FORD SPIRIT (6) returns from a break of six months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at Sonoda. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. QUEEN'S MONT BLANC (3) started at $5.30 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at this track over 1500m. Form at this track is solid. Will be hard to stop. ASHOKA (11) finished sixth last time out over 1500m at this track four weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Back-marker who keeps coming. Could prove tough to stop. GRASS VISION (5) has been safely held at his last two starts, the latest when tenth over 2890m at Niigata. Does enjoy some weight relief this time. Better placed this time and worth following up. |

Race 11 2000m
CASH BLITZ (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Kasamatsu over 1900m after being prominent from the outset. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. RYUNO DRAGON (5) proved too strong last start and scored by a nose over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and four placings. Should camp just off the leaders. Will play a major role. RADICAL BAROWS (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth over 1700m at this track. Generally runs well when third-up and could be tough to beat. MEISHO TAISETSU (6) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when sixth over 2100m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can run a bold race. |

Race 12 1500m
FALCONARA (10) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fifth over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. LUNAR PHASE (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track last time. Should settle handy in the run and can give a great sight. WHITTINGHAM (6) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten a head into second over 1500m at this track. Can feature in the finish. FULL OF ENERGY (3) ran well below his best last time over 1700m at this track, finishing eighth starting at $2.50. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Must be respected. |
