2nd (3) Port Royal | | | | | 6 | Yusuke Igarashi | Mizuki Takayanagi | Odds of $9.5 and didn't threaten when 11th last run at Fukushima on a good rated track. Second run this campaign. Place chance only. |
1st (8) Neviim | | | | | 4 | Kayata Komaki | Shozo Sasaki | Came on strongly to finish 3rd last time at Fukushima on a good surface but second up from a spell. Should get a lovely cart into it from just behind the leaders. Has definite claims. |
3rd (1) Aller De L'avant | | | | | 4 | Keita Ban | Takaki Iwato | First up from a spell. Finished with purpose when winning three runs back around here but drawn well. Solid win bet. |
(2) Iberia | | | | | 7 | Shinya Kitazawa | Norio Fujisawa | At $109 below expectations when 6th last run at Kokura but coming to a new trainer. Back from break. Gets a favourable barrier. Look for a better price late if pondering a wager on this. |
(4) Ready Steady Go | | | | | 4 | Masayuki Nakamura | Naoya Nakamura | Started $14 and disappointing effort when 6th last start at Niigata. Place hope. |
(5) Florstadt | | | | | 3 | Taro Kusano | Hirofumi Toda | Started $19 and ran past a few when 5th last start at Niigata. Slight chance. |
(6) Gold Frame | | | | | 6 | Sho Ueno | Koichi Shinkai | Comprehensive victory when winning three runs back at Kokura. Having third run back from a spell. Could sneak a place. |
(7) Don Shark | | | | | 3 | Kenji Hirasawa | Teiichi Konno | Jumped at $18 and demonstrated promise, picking up some ground to run 5th last start at Fukushima. Watching with interest. |
(9) Super Favor | | | | | 4 | Yuta Onodera | Shota Nishizono | Jumped at $21 and made up ground when 5th last run at Niigata on a good track. Second up. Place chance. |
(10) Shingun Joey | | | | | 4 | Shinichi Ishigami | Shigenobu Isaka | Was $24 and mediocre performance when 9th last run at Fukushima. Second up today. Knockout hope. |

(2) Reizvoll | | | | | 2 | Akatsuki Tomita | Yoshitada Takahashi | Odds of $10 and displayed talent moving through the field into 5th last time at Niigata on a good track and was on debut last time. Will try to take advantage of the gate. Respect the betting. |
(3) Nihonpiro Bailey | | | | | 2 | Ryou Takakura | Toshiyuki Hattori | Odds of $424 and couldn't maintain the pace when 14th last start at Kyoto but second up today. Might have to make up considerable ground. Rough chance today. |
(4) Gilded Frame | | | | | 2 | Yusaku Kokubun | Tomoyasu Sakaguchi | Odds of $64 and underperformed when 10th last time at Kyoto. Likely to get back in the run. Hard to see it being good enough. |
(5) Tagano Tholaria | | | | | 2 | Ryoya Kozaki | Takashi Saito | At $6 strong run when 5th last run at Kyoto and third up. Should get a lovely cart into it from just behind the pace. Expect to see close up at the end. |
(6) Porcospine | | | | | 2 | Yasunari Iwata | Tomoyuki Umeda | At $116 came in 7th last time at Kyoto but third run this campaign. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Hard to recommend. |

(8) Monte Luna | | | | | 2 | Yusuke Fujioka | Kenichi Fujioka | Jumped at $275 and disappointing run when 7th last time at the track but third up today. Does take a while to get into stride. Very unlikely to shake these. |
(9) T O Malthus | | | | | 2 | Yuji Hishida | Inao Okada | Jumped at $97 and weakened under pressure when 8th last time at Chukyo and first up today. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Tough ask. |

(13) Nihonpiro Allay | | | | | 2 | Yuya Mizuguchi | Toshiyuki Hattori | Odds of $325 and lost ground in the run home when 9th last start at Kyoto on a good track. This won't be easy. |
(15) Rhodium Epoch | | | | | 2 | Yamato Tsunoda | Hirofumi Shii | Was $9.5 and unimpressive effort when 7th last start at Kokura. Back after a break. Watch the betting. |
(16) Shuhari | | | | | 2 | Kyosuke Kokubun | Takashi Suzuki | Started at $330 and average performance when 7th last run at Kyoto and gets back and needs luck. Still a maiden after 10 starts. Third run back from a break. Too much luck needed to come into contention. |
(17) Satono Duce | | | | | 2 | Fuma Matsuwaka | Hidetaka Otonashi | Jumped at $84 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last start at Kyoto. Second up from a spell. Hard to have. |

3rd (5) Sezan World | | | | | 2 | Ryota Sameshima | Shogo Hatabata | Jumped at $9 and was nothing special when 7th last time at Kyoto. Should bounce back. Having third run back from a break. Chance in this. |
2nd (1) Purple Cloud | | | | | 2 | Ryuji Wada | Keiji Yoshimura | Jumped at $2.9 and demonstrated promise, picking up some ground to run 5th last start at Kyoto on a good surface and can save some energy from the gate. Looks a nice each way proposition. |
1st (4) Wonder Edge | | | | | 2 | Katsuma Sameshima | Koichi Ishizaka | Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 2nd last start at Kyoto. Third up from a break. Likeable type and a major player. |
(2) Monch | | | | | 2 | Kanta Taguchi | Hiroshi Kawachi | Didn't find the line when 8th last time at Kyoto on a good rated track but will try to take advantage of the barrier. Shows good closing speed. Place chance. |
(3) Tambaffe | | | | | 2 | Yasunari Iwata | Yuzo Iida | Jumped at $26 and couldn't maintain the pace when 13th last run at Kyoto but third up today. Gets back and needs luck. Looking elsewhere today. |
(6) Lion Etoile | | | | | 2 | Yoshihiro Furukawa | Shinsuke Hashiguchi | Started $100 and disappointing run when 13th last start at this track. Expected to settle towards the tail. Watching with interest. |
(7) Miracle Story | | | | | 2 | Heart Kameda | Kitade Yoshihito | Jumped at $99 and below expectations when 14th last run at Niigata but was on debut last time. Pass. |
(8) Namura Micheal | | | | | 2 | Arata Saito | Akira Murayama | Jumped at $17 and below expectations when 6th last time at Niigata. Giving another go here. In the mix. |
(9) Feroce | | | | | 2 | Ryoya Kozaki | Ryo Terashima | Started $52 and faded to finish 9th last start at Kyoto on a good rated track. On a quick back up. Looks highly doubtful. |
(10) Himino Ichishiro | | | | | 2 | Kyosuke Kokubun | Yoshihiko Kawamura | At $36 underperformed when 9th last time at Kyoto and likely to settle back in the field. Yet to fire this preparation. Still a maiden after 11 starts. Prefer others. |
(11) Taisei Mighty | | | | | 2 | Hideaki Miyuki | Masayuki Nishimura | Was $8 and ordinary performance when 7th last run at Niigata. Place looks more likely. |
(12) Tagano Chase | | | | | 2 | Yoshimasa Kido | Yutaka Okumura | At $21 performed below standard when 7th last time around here and back after spell. Might have to make up considerable ground. Considering others. |
(13) Burgeon Forth | | | | | 2 | Yusaku Kokubun | Yoshito Yahagi | At $117 lost ground in the run home when 9th last time at Kyoto. Not likely to pull of the victory. |
(14) Mostro Nero | | | | | 2 | Komaki Futoshi | Kazuhide Sasada | Started at $263 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last time at Kyoto. Does take a while to get into stride. Entitled to be big odds. |
(15) Suzuka Creator | | | | | 2 | Akatsuki Tomita | Yoshitada Takahashi | Odds of $187 and disappointing effort when 6th last time at this track. Resuming after break. Others preferred. |
(16) Salt Ace | | | | | 2 | Ken Tanaka | Hidenori Take | Started at $189 and faded away to finish 16th last time at Kyoto but fitter for debut run. Will struggle to compete in this race. |
Race 4: 03:20 Hanshin Maiden Race JPN 1m 208y
2nd (7) Win Wood Tail | | | | | 2 | Ryoya Kozaki | Koichi Shintani | At $1.5 disappointing display when 6th last time at Urawa. Giving another go here. Drawn to sit just in behind the speed. Not without claims. |
3rd (10) Win Komachi | | | | | 2 | Ryuji Wada | Takashi Suzuki | At $14 picked up strongly late when 4th last start at Kyoto. Third up today. Capable type. |
1st (11) Tagano Elizabeth | | | | | 2 | Yuji Hishida | Inao Okada | Managed to finish 2nd last run at Niigata on a good track. Second up from a break. Winning chance at nice odds. |
(1) Alfenim | | | | | 2 | Katsuma Sameshima | Kodai Hasegawa | Odds of $212 and didn't find the line when 9th last start at this venue but will appreciate a good draw. Resuming after a spell. Rather have another day. |

(6) Miss Friday | | | | | 2 | Koji Nishizuka | Tamio Hamada | Jumped at $128 and lackluster showing when 10th last run at the track and prefers to settle towards the tail. Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Rough hope. |
(8) Al Amal | | | | | 2 | Arata Saito | Takayuki Yasuda | Jumped at $7 and was nothing special when 7th last run at Kokura. Looking past the last run but back from a break. Can go through the gears. Not out of this. |
(9) Tea Time | | | | | 2 | Manabu Sakai | Kodai Hasegawa | Jumped at $83 and clearly outclassed when 7th last run at Kyoto but third run back from a spell. Likely to get back in the field. Has to improve out of sight. |
(12) T M Shire | | | | | 2 | Akatsuki Tomita | Hidenori Take | Jumped at $508 and couldn't stay in touch when 14th last time at Kyoto on a good rated track but racing again inside a week. Does take a while to get into stride. Looking elsewhere. |
(13) Southern Shore | | | | | 2 | Yamato Tsunoda | Keiji Yoshimura | Hit the line well when 3rd last time at Niigata on a good surface but second run this prep. Gets back and needs luck. Chance at odds. |
(14) Lucille | | | | | 2 | Kota Washizu | Kunihiko Watanabe | Hokko Tarumae 3yo having first race start for trainer Kunihiko Watanabe. Watch the market. |
(15) Meisho Nikohime | | | | | 2 | Kaito Kawabata | Masahiro Matsunaga | 3yo first starter for Masahiro Matsunaga by Hokko Tarumae. Keep your eye on the market. |

(13) Toho Tenryu | | | | | 3 | Yuji Hishida | Kiyoshi Tani | Managed to run 2nd last time at Niigata. Third run this campaign. Watch the betting. |
(2) Itsukawa Shacho | | | | | 4 | Yoshitsugu Okada | Naohiro Yoshida | At $82 clearly outclassed when 15th last start at Niigata but second up from a break. Might be ridden for luck. Has a positive alley. Looks to be in trouble. |
Race 10: 06:50 Hanshin Kishiwada Stakes JPN 1m 1f 207y
3rd (8) Sound Warrior | | | | | 4 | Fuma Matsuwaka | Yasuyuki Takahashi | Started at $47 and looked outclassed when 10th last run at Tokyo on a good rated track. In a lot of trouble. |
2nd (5) Auswahl | | | | | 4 | Yoshihiro Furukawa | Mitsugu Kon | Even though being overrun still placed 3rd last start at Kyoto. Should jump out and bowl along. Potential to run into a place. |
1st (2) T O Solennel | | | | | 3 | Kota Fujioka | Naosuke Sugai | Could build on a strong first up record. Led all the way to win last time at the track but won't be far away during the run. Ideal trip as proven previously. Rates highly. |
(1) Dinasta | | | | | 3 | Manabu Sakai | Yasuyuki Tsujino | Honest race when 2nd last time at the track but can save some energy from the gate. Back from a break. Gets a chance. |
(3) Asake Lady | | | | | 4 | Yuji Hishida | Yuki Ohashi | Showed potential when improving late to finish 4th two runs back at Chukyo and second up from a spell. Likely to get a nice run behind the speed. Can go close. |
(4) Meisho Breguet | | | | | 3 | Fuma Izumiya | Masaru Honda | Odds of $8 and just average when 9th last run at Kyoto. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Rough chance today. |
(6) Sagesse | | | | | 4 | Akatsuki Tomita | Hidemasa Nakao | At $25 was average finishing 10th last start at Niigata on a good rated track but third run this prep. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Look for a better price late if pondering a wager on this. |
(7) Taiso | | | | | 4 | Hideaki Miyuki | Masato Nishizono | Started $4 and weakened to finish 8th last time at Chukyo on a good track. Strong record when resuming. Long shot hope. |
(9) Prime Phase | | | | | 5 | Yuichi Kitamura | Shota Nishizono | Jumped at $198 and didn't attack the line when 16th last run at this venue on a good surface but first start for a new trainer Shota Nishizono. Resumes after a spell. Others are more appealing. |
(10) Levezza | | | | | 4 | Katsuma Sameshima | Takashi Saito | Odds of $17 and didn't threaten when 9th last run here and returning to a shorter trip. Possesses good finishing speed. Place chance only. |
(11) Update | | | | | 3 | Ryuji Wada | Haruki Sugiyama | Was $18 and well beaten when 15th last start at Kyoto on a soft surface but proven performer at this distance in the past. Having third run back from a break. Not the worst. |
Race 11: 07:30 Hanshin Matsukazetsuki Stakes JPN 5f 212y
3rd (14) Misuzu Grand O | | | | | 4 | Ryuji Wada | Keizo Ito | Jumped at $16 and disappointing run when 6th last time at this venue. Back after a spell. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition. |
2nd (10) Snark Da Vinci | | | | | 5 | Ryoya Kozaki | Kenji Nonaka | Odds of $7.5 and came in 8th last time at Nakayama but displays very good closing speed. Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Not without a chance. |
1st (16) Aurora Tesoro | | | | | 5 | Hideaki Miyuki | Yoshihiro Hatakeyama | Nice run when 3rd last start at Tokyo City Keiba. Long shot hope. |
(1) Dualist | | | | | 4 | Yuichi Kitamura | Takayuki Yasuda | Jumped at $37 and fairly underwhelming when 5th last run at Nagoya but have to respect the form at this distance. Having third run back from a break. Can save some energy from the alley. Take on trust. |
(2) Maru Mori Special | | | | | 3 | Fuma Izumiya | Yuki Ohashi | Won narrowly last time at Kyoto but suited at this trip historically. Gets a favourable gate. Best to watch and see. |
(3) Hulm | | | | | 3 | Yuya Mizuguchi | Tamio Hamada | Rounded them up to win last run at Tokyo. Will be motoring home late. Place best. |
(4) Medieval | | | | | 4 | Koji Nishizuka | Ryo Terashima | Made every post a winner to win last run at Niigata. Third up today. Rough chance. |
(5) Queen's Melissa | | | | | 4 | Takashi Fujikake | Hiroshi Miyamoto | Odds of $5 and ran 5th last start at Nakayama. Should be ready to fire fresh. Place looks more likely. |
(6) Boiler House | | | | | 4 | Teruo Eda | Masahiro Takeuchi | Odds of $21 and clearly outclassed when 7th last time at Nakayama but third up. Might have to make up considerable ground. Unlikely to go close. |
(7) Fire Lance | | | | | 5 | Kota Fujioka | Kenji Nonaka | At $55 faded away to finish 12th last run at the track on a good track and first run back from a break. Likely to settle back in the field. Has to improve out of sight. |
(8) Urban Jager | | | | | 8 | Kiwamu Ogino | Fumimasa Takahashi | Finished well when 2nd last start at Niigata but third up from a spell. Expected to settle towards the tail. Knockout hope. |
(9) Atid | | | | | 4 | Yuji Hishida | Shizuya Kato | At $6 below par when 8th last time at Tokyo City Keiba. Second up today. Watch the betting. |
(11) Meisho Titan | | | | | 5 | Yoshihiro Furukawa | Masaru Honda | Started $52 and didn't attack the line when 15th last start at this venue on a good rated track. Fresh after a spell. Looks hopeful. |
(12) Chase The Dream | | | | | 3 | Akatsuki Tomita | Yoshito Yahagi | Started at $4.8 and was nothing special when 5th last time at Funabashi. Happy to forgive that run and proven performer at this distance. Don't dismiss. |
(13) Genetics | | | | | 5 | Katsuma Sameshima | Masayuki Nishimura | Improved to place when 2nd last start around here and racing fresh today after a break. Does take a while to get into stride. Place claims at best. |
(15) Sunrise Amour | | | | | 3 | Manabu Sakai | Shinya Kobayashi | Hit the line well when 3rd last time at Kyoto on a good track but possesses good finishing speed. Third run back from a break. Will be well suited at the distance. Respect the betting. |
Race 12: 08:15 Hanshin Allowance Race JPN 5f 212y
2nd (4) Sound Clare | | | | | 3 | Shinichiro Akiyama | Akio Adachi | At $63 was well beaten when 15th last run at Niigata on a good rated track and resuming after a spell. Expected to settle towards the rear. Very unlikely. |
3rd (7) Proteios Minoru | | | | | 3 | Ryou Takakura | Kitade Yoshihito | Odds of $7.5 and couldn't stay in touch when 13th last run at Niigata. Third run back from a break. Slight chance. |
1st (5) Ilare | | | | | 3 | Heart Kameda | Kitade Yoshihito | Odds of $3.5 and ran past a few when 5th last time at Kyoto on a good rated track but might be ridden for luck. Having second run back from a break. Place hope. |
(1) Little Mimu | | | | | 2 | Hideaki Miyuki | Ippo Sameshima | Odds of $9.5 and underperformed when 8th last run at Kyoto but will appreciate a good alley. Second run this prep. Betting is the best guide. |
(2) Queen's Elsa | | | | | 2 | Hayato Yoshida | Masayuki Nishimura | Started at $11 and came in 5th last run at Chukyo but can find a nice position from the draw. First up after a break. Strong chance. |
(3) Burning Power | | | | | 4 | Kota Fujioka | Ippo Sameshima | Was $11 and lackluster showing when 11th last run at Kyoto. Second run this campaign. Prefer in a much weaker race. |
(6) Dream Again | | | | | 4 | Yusuke Fujioka | Katsunori Tanaka | Jumped at $13 and folded up in the straight when 13th last run at Kyoto on a good surface but second up. Shows very good finishing speed. Watch the betting. |
(8) Peaceful Night | | | | | 2 | Katsuma Sameshima | Tomokazu Takano | Stormed home to win last run at Kyoto but having third run back from a break. Should muster plenty of early toe. In for the fight. |
(9) Prince Of Jion | | | | | 5 | Ken Tanaka | Toshiyuki Hattori | Odds of $25 and average performance when 6th last run at Niigata. Struggle to recommend. |
(10) Curren La Fata | | | | | 3 | Ryuji Wada | Takashi Suzuki | Odds of $69 and weakened under pressure when 13th last time at Kyoto but second run this preparation. Gets back and needs luck. Hard to see this being competitive today. |
(11) Tenjuin | | | | | 5 | Kanta Taguchi | Teruhiko Chida | At $32 ordinary performance when 10th last time at Niigata but second up today. Likely to get back in the field. Place chance. |
(12) Third Force | | | | | 3 | Yoshihiro Furukawa | Mitsugu Kon | Was $103 and ordinary when 11th last time at Niigata. Does take a while to get into stride. Very slim hope. |
(13) Kurino Angel | | | | | 2 | Yamato Tsunoda | Shogo Hatabata | Started $76 and only fair when 10th last run at Niigata. Third up from a spell. Look for a better price late if pondering a wager on this. |
(14) Meisho Hizokko | | | | | 4 | Keisuke Dazai | Mamoru Ishibashi | Started $50 and ran 8th last run at Kyoto. Having second run back from a spell. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Highly unlikely this will trouble the judge. |
