NUM TIME COMMENT
1 03:00 Race 1 1400m
MOZU GANESA (2) showed good pace and kicked strongly to score over 1300m at this track last time. Drawn to go forward and expected to feature. O K TOMBOY (6) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish second, beaten one length, over 1300m at this track. Has never been out of the money in four starts here, including a win. Leading contender. MEISHO GOKETSU (10) fought on for third last start over 1300m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Shinjo Kaisei. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HOT ROD STAR (1) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth at his latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Leading prospect on best form.
2 03:35 Race 2 1400m
NIGHT SNIPER (10) has accrued four minor placings from four runs this campaign. Turned in another good performance last start when second over 1300m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CRESCENT GOLD (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1300m at this track. Key runner who should feature in the finish. SAUVAGE (4) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1300m at this track, scoring by one length. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. KEY GOLD (7) finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out over 1300m at this track on August 1. Among the chances.
3 04:05 Race 3 1400m
BARI KING (1) went fast early and went on to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1300m at this track. Will again be prominent from the outset. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. V BEAM (8) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1300m at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. FOREST TAKIN (9) went forward last start and gave a great sight when third over 1400m at Saga. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Sure to be competitive. GUERRIERE KIC (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh over 1300m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Worth plenty of thought.
4 04:40 Race 4 1300m
HIMEKAMINO ITADAKI (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2 lengths at this track over 1400m. Sure to run well again. GLORIOUS HERO (1) has switched yards since finishing eighth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 920m at Nagoya. Will be tuned-up for this and is expected to run well. CHUWA LONDON (4) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when seventh, beaten 13 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. PEISHA NIT (7) turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1400m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
5 05:15 Race 5 1300m
RIKEA BOLERO (2) showed ability at his only run back on June 28, finishing second over 1300m at this track. Drawn well close to the inside so expected to run well again. ALTA MOGIANA (6) pushed forward and led throughout to score a 30 length win over 1300m at this track last time. Same rider aboard and expected to go very well. SMITH BAROWS (10) showed good pace over 1300m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 1.5 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race. ROYAL QUARK (4) fought on for third last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 3 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts.
6 05:45 Race 6 1300m
EXTRA NOTE (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FROSTY QUARTZ (3) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by a head over 1400m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and looks a big threat to the top selection. TSUKIN KAISOKU (10) is a 11-start maiden who finished fifth at his most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. COUNTRY VICTOR (11) ran a better race last start, finishing 3.5 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at Saga. No surprise to see him in contention.
7 06:20 Race 7 1300m
SLAYLAR (8) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1400m at Saga two weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done again. BLANCA ANGEL (2) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ETERNAL LIES (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 45 lengths into 12th. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. INITIAL T (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a seventh over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Well placed and can play a prominent role.
8 06:50 Race 8 1600m
GALAPAGOS (2) fought on well to finish second last start over 1300m at this track, beaten a neck as favourite. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. STELLA MATUTINA (8) proved too strong last start and scored by a neck over 1300m at this track. Boasts five wins here. Winning rider Eita Inoue stays aboard. Best form puts her right in this. YUKINO MARIA (5) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by half a length over 1300m at this track last time out. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and two placings from six tries. One of the main contenders. T O SIRIUS (9) dug deep to score two back then was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1300m at this track last time six weeks ago. Goes well at this distance with two wins and a placing from four starts and is one of the better hopes.
9 07:20 Race 9 1600m
DAORADAORA (4) returns today and is on a run of seven straight wins, the latest over 1600m at this track on June 28. Strong record with Eita Inoue aboard, including three wins. Leading contender. SNOW HORN ROAD (8) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by a nose last time out over 1300m at this track. Should park just off the speed despite a difficult draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. WITH YOUR DREAM (9) is in top form with two wins on end, the latest by one length over 1400m at this track two months ago. Has a formidable combination with Shinji Hatanaka who has been aboard for his last two wins. Sure to be competitive. BYSTOL (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1300m at this track. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
10 07:50 Race 10 1600m
SHOSAN KIZUNA (6) is a distance specialist who finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fifth in a 1300m contest at this track six weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIRACLE DREAM (7) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 2.75 lengths away in third over 1300m at this track when he was in the firing line all the way. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. CARTE MAITRESSE (4) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DERMA AZRAEL (3) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1300m at this track, finishing sixth, beaten 5 lengths. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Can do better than last.
11 08:20 Race 11 1600m
CAM RANH BAY (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten a neck. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MEISHO KAZE MACHI (6) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 66 lengths when seventh in a 3000m contest at Chukyo six weeks ago. Has the talent to figure prominently. AMAZING (1) had been performing well until racing below his best last time when seventh over 1400m at Sonoda. Record at this track is strong. One of the main contenders. HIMAWARIKUN (9) was a gutsy winner first-up from a spell two runs back then finished fourth over 1400m at Saga on July 16. Can bounce back to winning form.
12 08:50 Race 12 1400m
FULFILMENT (1) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1300m at this track. Confidence restored and can continue the winning form. COSMO AMULETTE (7) faded last time to finish tenth over 2200m at Niigata after showing good early speed. Better than the last run and will take running down. TOSANO SERENADE (11) ran below her best when fifth last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Definitely worth another chance. FURINKAZAN (2) was beaten 8 lengths into sixth over 1300m at this track six weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
