Solid tempo with Fukuno Sunano Bara leading from Lily Sunrise and Baklava. FUKUNO SUNANO BARA (4) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before weakening to finish 13th, beaten 10 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Among the top chances and will give a sight. SUNRISE HUNTER (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m after being prominent from the outset. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. O K ANGEL (1) was safely held when resuming last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt but better than that. BAKLAVA (2) has been freshened up since racing on the speed and fading to finish ninth over 1400m at Kawasaki on June 17. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Not to be discounted.
