Race 2 1300m
LUCKY CROWN (4) is a four-start maiden who finished tenth, beaten 13 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Fitter and capable of taking this out. MEISHO INTRO (8) is a four-start maiden who finished 11th, beaten 8 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Chukyo. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. GRAND CRU (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 15 lengths into sixth. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAR DORADO (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 19 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts. |

Race 8 1400m
TEN FRESH (2) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest when 13th over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Forgive the last couple in tougher company. Hard to beat this time.
