NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:15 Race 1 1600m
CHARINA (1) fought on for third last start over this track and trip, making it three minor placings in a row. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TERUKEN LEINSTER (7) last appeared a month ago over 1800m at Niigata Dirt when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the Yuta Ebina stable. Worth serious consideration. COSMO TRAUMER (10) failed to figure last time over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Should be in the finish in this weaker race. ALEGRANZA (5) finished fourth after being in the firing line on the bend at his last appearance here on September 4. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.

TOLAN TESORO (11) was far from disgraced after being in the firing line on the corner to finish 1.3 lengths away in second last start over this track and trip. That followed a first-up win at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SISTERON (10) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings but has been tackling tougher company, the latest over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Much better placed this time.

Solid claims on best form.

Strong record with Norifumi Mikamoto aboard, including two wins. Has claims on her best figures.

SMILE KEI (7) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third last time out here. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot salute.
