Maiden Race 2970m
MEISHO TOM (1) registered a sound second in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata. That result was on the back of a solid second in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two starts ago. Close to his first jumps win and off the inside will take catching. GASTON (6) found the frame two back in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata then again ran a good race to finish second last time out, beaten one length, in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Showed ability over the jumps last time in. This looks an ideal race to launch the campaign. HORTOBAGY (2) has not raced since he finished 6 lengths away in fifth on the flat over 2000m at Fukushima on June 27. Takes on the jumps for the first time. Sure to be competitive. TWO M KHRONOS (7) last raced when he was beaten 17 lengths into tenth over 2000m on the flat at Chukyo two months ago. First try at the jumps. Anticipating a bright start to the new phase of his career. |

Maiden Race 2000m
SHONAN VATRENI (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 2000m at Chukyo when second, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. MEISHO JADE (6) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten one length into second over 1600m at Chukyo. Has upside and is among the leading chances. MASU RYUO (7) wasn't far away on debut last start over 2000m at Chukyo, finishing fourth and beaten 1.5 lengths. Has ability and must be respected. KEIAI TORINO (1) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 2000m at Chukyo. Among the chances. |

Maiden Race 1800m
HOT ROD HEART (7) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race when he did his best work late and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2000m at Chukyo. Likely improver with strong prospects. JUN VAGNER (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 14 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. AWAJISHIMA (6) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 25 lengths into seventh over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt on August 22. Fitter and is one of the chances. GOLD SHOOTER (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 18 lengths when sixth over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. |

Maiden Race 1800m
COSMO FIRENZE (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a nose away in second over 2000m at Chukyo. Overdue and nicely placed to figure in the outcome. TENDER WORDS (2) did her best work late to finish third at big odds at her latest appearance at Chukyo over 2000m. Backmarker who gets home hard. One of the leading chances. FALANGHINA (9) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh last start over 2000m at Niigata seven weeks ago. Forgive the last run; in the mix. ASTER DIVA (17) is a six-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1600m at this track. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Deserves respect on best figures. |

LUMEN LUNAE (9) is a son of Epiphaneia from the Listed winner Louliana who makes his debut. Strong profile and should play a role in the finish. SUEHIRO BELIEVE (2) is a two-year-old colt who was purchased for JPY ¥ 24,200,000 (Japan Sales 2025 Hokkaido Selection Sale Yearlings). Top jockey Ryusei Sakai aboard. Look for forward showing in this field, one of the chances. AGLIANICO (4) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Tatsuya Yoshioka. By Al Ain from Barbaresco. Expected to feature. AYANO (10) is a well bred two-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By Saturnalia from the quality mare Etoile who has produced a winner at stakes level. Should be thereabouts despite a tricky barrier. |

Maiden Race 1400m
POUPEE EN BISCUIT (15) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Closed off powerfully fresh and can go one better. HAPPINESS SUNRISE (16) is a nine-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing third at Chukyo over 1400m last time out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ASK HAPPY MAN (10) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being prominent at the bend at his latest appearance over 1800m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. NAMURA RODIN (4) finished third last time out over 1200m at this track, making it seven career minor placings. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three four times. Overdue for a win. An inside gate is a big advantage. Winning prospects. |

Allowance Race 1800m
ACCESS (4) booted up from the inside draw to lead when returning from a spell last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing half a length away in second over 2000m at Chukyo. Talented colt who ran a nice race fresh. Fitter and will go close. SATONO AGUDO (7) is a progressive three-year-old colt who resumes from a break of three-and-a-half months, his last appearance being a win over 1800m at Kyoto at his only run of that campaign. Yet to miss the frame from four starts at the trip, including a win and should be hard to stop. CHOREO SEQUENCE (6) has not raced since he finished fourth over 2000m at this track on March 21. Debut winner then raced in stakes class next two. Anticipating a bright start to this prep. DANON THAMES (11) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Scored over 1800m at this track to launch the last campaign. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. |

SETONAIKAI TOKUBETSU 1400m
LAILA (2) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing fourth over 1400m at Kyoto three-and-a-half months ago. Placed only try course and distance and 2/2 fresh. Excellent chance to find winning form. DAGGER RING (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Chukyo, beaten 3 lengths. Kept coming fresh and is a second-up winner. Sure to run well. RONDE BOSSE (12) is close to breaking through with three placings from five runs this preparation, last time out finishing third over 1400m at Chukyo. In the mix again.

TAKEDAJO STAKES 1800m
MATENRO BRAVE (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on May 30, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Won only try course and distance. Yet to win fresh but looks well placed this line-up. Expected to run well. PATIENT SIEN (5) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance 12 weeks ago. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and two placings from seven starts. Should be hard to stop. TAGANO MAKASIH YA (13) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Has never missed the frame second up. Mirai Iwata gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Likely improver with strong prospects. LUX FRENZY (15) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on June 21 when fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Looks a strong top-three prospect. |

THE CHALLENGE CUP 2000m
GIOVANNI (15) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten half a length, over 2000m at Kokura when returning from a break. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and in the same class can go one better. MATENRO GALE (9) is a handy type who resumes. At his last appearance he finished fifth over 2400m in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby), beaten 2 lengths. Won only try course and distance and placed 2/2 when fresh. Key runner. MAGLIA IRIDATA (11) was unbeaten from three runs last campaign and yet to miss the frame in eight runs. Excels fresh and should be right in the finish. KALAMATIANOS (8) was popular when resuming last start over 2000m in the G3 Tanabata Sho at Fukushima but finished seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Has a decent second up record. Likely improver. |

HIRUNO PUGLIA (13) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Has placed four on end including 2/2 here. Take catching. STAR FUSION (14) is a promising filly who p[laced on debut then got off the mark last time before a break. Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. BISCUIT ASSORT (16) was last at the races when he finished third over 1400m at this track on June 21. Can make his presence felt. ARMS LEGEND (8) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing eighth over 1200m at this track three months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Has a high cruising speed. Don't underestimate. |
