Maiden Race 1600m
WUNDERBAR (5) closed last prep nine weeks ago when she finished fourth over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Has shown very good speed at both runs to date and looks very well placed here. Take catching off the low draw. VALBONA (12) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1600m at Nakayama. Open to improvement and back to a maiden. Looks a serious contender despite the draw. SAINT GAUDENS (10) was solid on debut last start when beaten 12 lengths into seventh over 1800m at Niigata on August 17. Back in trip and back to a maiden. Has upside and can measure up. SUNDAY PARTY (14) debuted three weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish. |

Maiden Race 1600m
MAKANA ANELA (10) wasn't really fancied in a Newcomer on debut but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths over 1600m at Hanshin. Should improve sharply and has the leading rider going on. This looks a nice race. COSMIC BOX (3) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1600m at Nakayama. Ready to win and another forward showing expected. KING GLORY (4) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 2000m at Nakayama three weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. WIN RAFAGA (2) wasn't far away on debut last start over 2000m at Niigata, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Gave a sight off the wide draw. Take catching this alley. |

ARDE KINGDOM (9) is backing up eight days after finishing third over 2000m at this track. Looks close to a maiden win. Jumps from a wide barrier but is likely to be in the finish. BRISA MARINA (10) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1800m at Nakayama. Much better effort after a spell and looks nicely placed to play a major role. IBUKI (6) was solid on debut last start, winding up nicely at the end of 2000m to finish fourth at Nakayama. Ran on well on debut after settling midfield. Top-three claims. CHARING CROSS (3) stepped out for his debut over 1800m at this track back on June 21 and finished ninth, beaten 13 lengths. Was strongly fancied on debut then given a long break.
