NUM TIME COMMENT
1 11:55 Race 1 1400m
SHUTTER CHANCE (2) finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the speed. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BELLAGIO HOME RUN (8) was fourth on debut then ran a better race to finish third last time, beaten 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. FEUZ (3) is a three-start maiden who missed the frame first-up but has improved in subsequent runs, finishing in the money last start over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BIG BAMBI CHAN (1) made her debut last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at this track over 800m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Can feature in the finish this time.
2 12:30 Race 2 1400m
GO LEGEND (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. HAYATENO OJO (9) is still a maiden after nine starts. Could only manage to finish tenth last time out over 1800m at Sapporo following a minor placing at Morioka when fresh from a spell the run prior. Should be in the mix. TOPAZ TESORO (7) did a great job to score by 30 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HOPE RAISING (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 30 lengths into second over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a big role.
3 01:00 Race 3 1400m
L'ISLE JOYEUSE (6) started at $3.80 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 12 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Has a very good record here with three wins from six starts. Sure to go well. NAOMINI ALL IN (2) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 14 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1400m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. HYPER CALL (5) comes here off a last-start seventh, beaten 18 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Right in the contest. PENTHOUSE (7) was beaten 22 lengths into sixth over 1580m at this track two weeks ago. Worth noting Tatsuya Watanabe goes aboard. Capable of featuring prominently.
4 01:35 Race 4 1400m
PEACE BLOSSOM (3) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 800m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. LACRIME (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 3 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track when she was handy all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SATSUKI QUANTUM (7) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LUNA VICTOIRE (2) finished 23 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
5 02:20 Race 5 1400m
BELLAGIO CHANNEL (7) raced on the speed last time and finished second over 1500m at Nagoya, the second minor placing from as many runs this prep. Overdue and gets his chance to break through. VILLE NATALE (2) is fresh from a spell of six months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Nagoya over 1500m. In a different yard now. Rates highly so expect her to be prominent. YAMANIN EIDOLON (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Should be peaking now and is among the main hopes. HOLO KIKI (10) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
6 02:48 Race 6 1400m
IKS CLOVER (6) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. SALUD POR TI (2) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 1580m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. HIKARUNO NAGI (3) was safely held when second last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Beautifully placed and is sure to make amends. AMELITA (5) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last start. Should camp just off the leaders. Must be respected.
7 03:20 Race 7 1400m
NOAH BLACK (1) showed the way from barrier rise to score by 1.5 lengths last start over this course and distance. Sure to take some stopping again. UNSUNG HEROINE (6) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the turn before finishing second over 1580m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has the class to return to the winner's list. MIYUKI AMORE MIO (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. PUERTA AZUL (4) ran well below her best last time over 1580m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth at $4. Best figures too good to ignore.
8 03:55 Race 8 1400m
KURIKO FALCON (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on June 27, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1000m at Kokura Dirt. Rates highly and should take some beating. RYUSEI KOTEI (7) is a nine-start maiden who finished eighth, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Niigata. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. TSUKINO KOBUNE (5) won his maiden three starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when second over 1580m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and is one of the prime contenders. MASTICARE (1) returned from a spell a month ago when she was prominent at the corner before being beaten 10 lengths into 18th over 1400m at Chukyo. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
9 04:25 Race 9 1580m
KO LANTA (7) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 2.5 lengths victory over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Shin Higashikawa has been the pilot at her last two wins. Sure to run well. EARTH LIBRA (4) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when she was handy all the way over 1580m at this track. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. COSMO FINESSE (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1580m at this track. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. ROBUST WARRIOR (5) was beaten 10 lengths into fifth in a 1400m contest at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
10 04:55 Race 10 1400m
CONSTRUCTION (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five runs. Leading player again. CHUWA ASCOT (1) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. KRICHASHCHII (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 2 lengths on his rivals. Should figure in the finish. RIC NOIR (2) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Must be respected.
