Three Japan NAR meetings to start the week off this Monday, November 14.

With Ohi, Kasamatsu and Morioka hosting, we are having a look at the best picks of the day from across all three courses.

Ohi Race 8 - #9 Brave Sound

Lots to like about this five year old gelding out of Daiwa Major  He had a great patch of form here at this circuit before going for a four month spell. 

He has returned where he left off, with a win and a place, teaming once again with jockey Takayuki Yano

The only danger to him saluting again here may be recent Maiden winner, three year old Senju who is clearly on the up & up.

Ohi Race 9 - # 3 Hakuai Yell 

This three year old daughter of Henny Hughes has been through several trainer changes this year, but finally in the hands of Hiroyuki Matsuura she seems to have found her form.

Her last three starts have produced two wins and a place, and with Takayuki Yano sticking on the filly, she looks set to run another good race here today. 

She may need to watch out for B B Muse who is first-up after a spell, and is a danger fresh.

Kasamatsu Race 8 - #2 Nihonpiro Perry 

A change of trainer and back to NAR level has done wonders for this three year old son of Kurofune, who has brought up a hat-trick of wins at this course recently.

Plenty to like about his prospects and he is the one to beat again. 

Morioka Dirt Race 6 - #10 Clavel Blanco

Another runner who's form has improved dramatically with a change of trainer is this two year old filly out of Grandezza.

With three wins and a fourth from her last four runs on the Morioka Dirt track, there is no reason why she can't salute here again today, although must be wary of El Mercurio coming out of the prized inside stall.
