THE HUNT (5) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1800m at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver who should go well. CHIMNEY TOPS (6) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at Niigata Dirt over 1800m, beaten 8 lengths. Can improve sharply and may be worth following up. DANON FERSEN (4) finished third last time over 1800m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. ARDE FOX (7) finished 9 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being prominent at the turn over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt, an improvement on his eighth on debut at Sapporo the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. |

SALICE (2) was well in commission on her debut over 1600m at Niigata eight weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Better for the run and can improve sharply. T O STEIN (6) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner when first-up last start over 2000m at this track. Will strip a lot fitter this time around.

Open to improvement and can feature. EMMA (3) finished third on debut two weeks ago over 2000m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. One of the genuine contenders. |

Allowance Race 1400m
Most o these struggling for form. KANETOSHI FLAMME (16) returned from a break of five months with a solid fifth last start at this track over 1200m. The extra journey should play into her hands. Ready to win. LIENS DE METEORE (11) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on July 13 finishing 12th and beaten 7 lengths over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Looks a winning chance while fresh. SHARPTHORNE (15) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on June 16 finishing 15th and beaten 22 lengths over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt.
