IGA STAKES 1400m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace with Y Y Legend, Protoporos and Dragon Welds pushing across. DRAGON WELDS (14) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Fitter for that last hitout and is a great chance to get the prize again. ESTRELLA DE BELEN (11) wound up strongly last time out to finish a nose adrift in second over 1400m at this track when coming back from a spell. Should be poised just off the lead. Expected to be in the finish. PROTOPOROS (8) last appeared when successful by a neck over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt 11 weeks ago, the only time he went to the races last prep. Should camp just off the leaders. One to consider. FERVENTE (13) was beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth in a 1700m contest at Kokura Dirt last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
