Maiden Race 2750m
BALAJI (4) returns from a 76-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing seventh in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama, beaten 11 lengths. Yet to win over the obstacles from four attempts. Expecting more this time in work. DIVERTISSEMENT (5) is a 12-start maiden who was well in the market last start and finished fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Best form reads well and he shouldn’t be far away. CUPIDON (9) wasn't fancied but returned from a spell on May 30 with a sound second in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo, beaten 3 lengths. Hard to knock on that form. SEKITEI O (6) returns from a 69-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin, beaten 11 lengths. Yet to win over the obstacles from three attempts. Sure to acquit himself well. |

Maiden Race 1700m
TEN OUNCE GOLD (14) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt then fought on gamely to finish second. Placed to advantage and can take this out. AOI MIZUHO (3) is still a maiden after nine runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt after he got a long way back in the run. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. STARTS TODAY (15) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. SQUEEZE OUT (8) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1800m at Nakayama. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix. |

Allowance Race 1700m
SHONAN PATHOS (10) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Should park just off the speed and in this suitable contest is among the leading chances. PROSPECT PARK (9) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Often needs a run to hit some form but this is not a deep race so he should give a good account. GENEROUS KING (3) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last three months ago when he scored over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Sure to be competitive. RALPH TESORO (12) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. |

Open Class Race 2750m
WATER LEADER (7) returned from a spell last start with a solid third in a steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Fitter and sure to go well again in a moderate affair. COMBUSTION (6) was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 6 lengths into seventh in a steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Has ability and can play a role in the finish. BLACK BALLADE (2) finished fourth two back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Turned things around last time to get the prize by 9 lengths in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Sure to have admirers. VERS REIMS (8) made a winning return from a layoff last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata, partnered by today's rider Y Igarashi. Expecting further improvement. |

Newcomer Race 1200m
ANMUT (3) is a nicely bred two-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By Silver State from Treasure State who has produced some fine gallopers, including Piece Of Eight at G3 level. Promising type who should make a bright start to her career. SHONAN HAAVE (9) is on debut for the Eiji Nakadate stable. Two-year-old colt by Shonan Bach from Shonan Alma. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. A I KUAI (6) is on debut. By Big Arthur and comes from the Aizawa stable. Watch for a betting push. EVER METEOR (1) is a well-related two-year-old colt on debut. By Indy Champ from Ever Rose who has produced some fine gallopers, including a stakes winner. Should get all the favours from this good gate and is certainly worth considering. |

Maiden Race 1800m
EVER CHANTY (5) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten a neck into second over 2000m at Tokyo after being prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. UPPER WATER (3) has not raced since she finished fourth over 1800m at this track on April 12. Looks the obvious threat in a race of few realistic hopes. LA GUAIRITA (7) resumes from a spell of eight months. Could only manage to finish 14th at the latest run over 1800m at Tokyo. Has ability and is a top three contender. EARTH VINCI (1) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 1600m at Nakayama. Worth including in exotics. |

Maiden Race 2000m
WIN MAGNIFIQUE (2) has three minor placings from five runs this time in work. Wound up strongly to just miss out at his latest run over 2000m at Niigata. Nicely drawn and looks tough to beat. BEAR DIAMOND (13) was handy in the run last time out when a very close third at Tokyo over 2000m. Plenty of improvement to come at just the third race start. Has a wide gate to overcome but will still be competitive. HAUTE QUALITE (14) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 2000m at Niigata. Should settle on the speed despite the draw. One of the contenders. CRYSTAL DRESS (9) finished third last time over 2400m at Tokyo, beaten 2.75 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. |

SAKURAMBO TOKUBETSU 1150m
LUX RAYMOND (15) is a handy type who resumes after a break of 12 weeks. At his last appearance he finished 11th over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 10 lengths. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Should settle just off the speed and give a great sight. ECORO SEED (6) went forward from the low draw when resuming last start and sat on the pace before sticking on well to finish third over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has the class to get the prize. QUAI BRANLY (7) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 10 lengths. That followed a win at Hanshin Dirt at the previous outing. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. HIRABOKU CARRERA (10) was a gutsy winner two back then ran fourth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt on May 2. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Can feature in the finish. |

IWAKI TOKUBETSU 1700m
DU MAVERICK (9) lines up for the first time since April 19. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has switched to the Masahiro Otake stable. Should be hard to stop. LAST LEGACY (2) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then scored by 3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. REFLEX (3) is a speedy colt who was a winner first up at Tokyo Dirt eight weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. HIGH QUALITY (1) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1800m at Niigata Dirt seven weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. |

BADEN-BADEN CUP 2000m
MAGLIA IRIDATA (4) scored by 1.75 lengths last start at Niigata over this distance to make it two wins from as many appearances this time in work. Upwardly mobile filly who looks to have a fair bit on this field. FIORE STRADA (8) showed good early pace over 2000m at Kyoto last time and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to be competitive. RI THIR CHONAILL (7) disappointed at his last run ten weeks ago when seventh at Nakayama, that effort following back-to-back wins. Bold showing expected. HONEYCOMB (3) was on the speed from the rails draw last start and battled on well to finish second over 2000m at Kyoto. Nicely placed to play a major role. |

Allowance Race 1200m
FINE SUMMER DAY (15) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 1200m at Nakayama at his last appearance on April 5 which was the only run of that campaign. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in three starts. Has good early speed and looks sure to feature. STATE OF ROCK (13) is a talented entire who has been in the money at all four starts. Has not been produced since he was successful over 1200m at Ohi on April 13. Finds a nice race and should prove tough to beat. SAMUHARA (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. BIG FLOWER (12) finished sixth over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance on April 19. Definite top-three chance. |
