Race 1 1200m
GREATER VIRTUE (10) was close to breaking through last time in work, closing the prep as favourite and finishing second at this track before a eight months break. Has a tricky gate to overcome. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. DIOPHANTUS (7) hit the frame two starts ago at Mizusawa but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 13 lengths over 1300m at Mizusawa after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. YOU ARE MY SOUL (2) last appeared three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Sonoda when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the Tsukasa Yoshida stable. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. IMMORTALITY (3) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 6 lengths into fifth at his latest appearance over 1300m at Mizusawa. Looks close to a win and worth including. |

Race 3 1200m
TRIPLE BARREL (1) has been out of the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when tenth at Tokyo. Down in the weights this time. Is very well placed in this inferior company. Should bounce back. SPIRITUAL (2) faded right out of it last time over 1600m at Ohi after showing good early speed and leading for much of the way, eventually finishing ninth. Expected to be in this for a long way. ASUMA STEVE (4) finished out of the money two starts back then he was never in contention and was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth over 1300m at Mizusawa a week ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. YOTSUBA MITCHI (10) fought on for third last start over 1300m at Mizusawa, beaten 9 lengths to add to some fine recent form.

Going up a level this time but he can win again. RENOVATIO (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Mizusawa. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp.
