NAGATSUKI STAKES 1200m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Fast tempo assured with Nac Drops, Sunrise Amour and Chase The Dream going at each other early in the piece.
SUNRISE AMOUR (12) has not been to the races since she led all the way to win the Listed Ritto Stakes over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt on 12 May. This entire has won six races, the other five have been over today's 1200m journey. Looks the goods first-up from a break with premier jockey Christophe Lemaire to pilot. CHASE THE DREAM (1) poses the obvious threat. Tackled the Grade 3 Ibis Summer Dash over 1000m at Niigata at her last appearance eight weeks ago and wasn't beaten all that far. Perfectly drawn in gate one and her record when fresh from a break reads three wins from five attempts. Good enough to fully test Sunrise Amour. PAUOLE (6) is back from a ten-week layoff. Only raced once last campaign when third over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Lacks the quality of the top two but certainly in the mix. ADVANCE PHAROAH (14) led all the way to win last start over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Can handle coming back in trip so keep him in mind.
