NUM TIME COMMENT
1 01:30 Race 1 1500m
WORLD BATTLE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to cope. MUSH BRIGHT (9) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Can bounce back. KYOEI CEREZO (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 7 lengths into seventh over 1400m at this track. Should be thereabouts. PRIME QUALITY (6) turned in a better run last start, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth over 1500m at this track. Can build on that.
2 02:00 Race 2 1300m
YODONO LOVE (4) is on debut for the Maki Hirayama stable. Three-year-old filly by Oval Ace from Yodono Hope. Sure to acquit herself well. Betting the key. SPLENDIDUS (6) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 11 lengths into fifth over 1300m at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. SIENA NO ROMA (5) is a two-start maiden who finished ninth, beaten 15 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at this track. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. FOREVER AIYA (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 8 lengths away in ninth over 800m at this track. No surprise to see him in the mix.
3 02:30 Race 3 1400m
TAKAICHI SHOHEI (7) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten a head over 1300m at this track. Can open winning account this time. ROYAL ORLEANS (2) has not raced since his debut back on December 22 when he finished fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. PANTS ONLY (3) finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 900m at Kawasaki when fresh from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Leading hope. COMBAT KICK (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 13 lengths into eighth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
4 03:00 Race 4 1400m
MOZU MASTERPIECE (6) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1500m at this track when beaten 1.3 lengths. Today might be his day. KASUKANA NOZOMI (3) turned in a fair effort at this track over 1500m at her last run nine weeks ago, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Sure to make her presence felt. RYUNO HINAGIKU (2) returned last time with a solid third at Funabashi over 1200m when she made late ground. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of a big run. VAINQUEUR CITY (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track over 1400m. Meets some better types this time but a big run will not surprise.
5 03:30 Race 5 1400m
RIKO MICA (9) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing second and beaten only one length. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and shapes as a key contender. NOBLE PLATINA (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KOYU MYU MYU (10) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Funabashi. Safely held last time out when 11th over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Has the ability to produce another win. LAGOON LIBERTY (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on March 19, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
6 04:00 Race 6 800m
MAHNE FLOTTANT (3) returns from a layoff of six months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 800m at this track. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. Comes here with definite claims. PYTHON (8) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led throughout to score by half a length over 800m at this track. One of the top chances again. KOTORINO UTAU UTA (12) returns from a spell of 12 weeks and is having her first run for a new yard. Was a winner when fresh last campaign at Kasamatsu over 800m. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. KEY SONATA (6) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage 12th over 800m at this track. Well-placed and can sneak into the finish.
7 04:35 Race 7 800m
LORD SUMMIT (3) was an impressive winner last time over 800m at this track, leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on his rivals. Should measure up again. QUEEN'S HAPPY (12) returns from a break of eight months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fifth over 800m at this track. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. STELLA BOULOGNE (11) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten a neck over 800m at this track. Well-placed and expected to feature again. TATSUNO DREAM (10) resumes in a similar race to her last run three-and-a-half months ago when seventh, beaten 8 lengths. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
8 05:10 Race 8 1400m
G T PUDDING (4) was less than a length from the winner in second at this track on debut before showing the benefit of that race experience when an impressive winner over 1400m at this track last start when resuming. Capable of repeating the dose. BILANCIA (2) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. LES FRERES (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.25 lengths away in third over 1500m at Kawasaki. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. EARTH FANG (3) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fifth over 800m here last time. Was outdashed but got going late and appears suited by the longer journey. Worth including.
9 05:45 Race 9 1400m
ODENTA (10) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at Funabashi with success as public elect over 1200m at Funabashi three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Masashige Honda scored on him last time and retains the ride. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. FERNANDA (4) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1500m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. GRAZIE (9) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when she scored by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and is expected to run well again. AZUKICHAN (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.5 lengths at this track over 1400m. Sure to be thereabouts.
10 06:20 Race 10 1500m
PUBLIC SPHERE (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by one length over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with six wins and six minor placings from 16 runs. Big chance once again. ANY THUNDER (4) got the prize two runs ago at Kanazawa. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. GO ON PURPOSE (9) was quickly into stride over 1500m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by half a length. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. KIMIWA LEMONADE (8) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
11 06:55 Race 11 1400m
FAST ONE (1) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in her past 11 starts. Last time out she scored over 1200m at Funabashi. Looks very tough to beat again. KEN KIITOS (4) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Among the leading chances. FUKUCHAN KING (9) lifted strongly only to just miss last start over 1500m at this track. Going well and has winning claims. SPENCER BAROWS (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
12 07:30 Race 12 2000m
SPIN DIEGOAL (5) resumed over 2000m at this track last time out and finished second, beaten one length. Overall record is sound when second-up and should be better for that first-up run. Should feature in the finish. LILABAD (11) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1700m at Monbetsu. Has ability and should be right in the finish. TOSEN GENIAL (2) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Among the better hopes. JASPER JET (9) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1800m at Funabashi but was safely held in tenth, beaten 15 lengths. Has a high cruising speed. Can feature in the finish.
