2 02:45 Race 2 1000m
WHIP FLOWER (12) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at this track when second, beaten half a length. Jumps from a wide draw but she will be hard to beat. DAVAY OSCAR (11) has only raced once and finished half a length away in second over 1000m at this track nine weeks ago. Drawn out but she is going to take some stopping. HAKUAI REVE (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3 lengths away in second over 1000m at this track when she was in the firing line all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ALPHONSINA (8) is a four-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1000m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Solid claims on best form.
3 03:15 Race 3 1100m
YI ER THUNDER (10) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten one length over 1100m at this track. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. JACKSON VOICE (1) started at $4.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths at this track over 1000m. Finds a more suitable contest and can make amends. VARADERO (2) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten one length, over 1100m at this track. Sure to be thereabouts. LADY WARRIOR (11) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Debuted with a second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1100m at this track at her only appearance to date. Sure to be competitive.
4 03:50 Race 4 1200m
FELINE VALOR (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1100m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. ROMAN LEAP (1) was an effortless winner last time over 1000m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and two minor placings from four starts. Leading contender. DEL PIERO (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1200m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Likely improver with strong prospects. ENGEL (1) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was always up in the leading division over 1000m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. KYOEI BOMBER (4) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 8 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1200m at this track. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.

9 06:35 Race 9 1200m
KITANO ROSE (9) is still a maiden after eight runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing eighth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. WRIGHT FLYER (10) was beaten just a neck last start when fresh from a spell and landed his first top-three finish in the process over today's course and distance. Sure to play a major role again.

10 07:10 Race 10 1200m
YUNA HAWK POWER (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 16 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the task.

Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. QUEEN'S MONAKA (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Goes up a rung or two but she is worth serious consideration.
11 07:50 Race 11 1000m
FINGAL'S CAVE (11) has been in great form with three placings in succession, most recently when beaten 4.5 lengths into third over 1000m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to mix it with them. BELLE THEODORA (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when seventh over 1200m at this track two weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PORT ELLEN (8) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner and scored two back at this track before placing last time over 1000m at this track. In form and among the main chances again. ADMIRING (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into seventh. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
12 08:30 Race 12 1700m
SOLDIER FIELD (2) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1700m. Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Expected to measure up. S'IL TE PLAIT (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1700m at this track last time. Has a superb record here at this trip with three wins and a 100% top-three strike rate. Yamato Ishikawa who has 12 wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. BRAVE AMORE (4) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1700m at this track. Has a fair record at this trip with a win and five minor placings so he is expected to measure up.

This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely.
