SOTOBO STAKES 1200m Track: STANDARD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Keiai Maple, Grand Faubourg and Danon Michael will be keen early so the tempo should be genuine. BUSHIN (8) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has a perfect record in two third-up appearances so he looks very hard to beat. GABBY'S SISTER (10) did her best work late to score by 2.5 lengths at the most recent appearance over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt at the second run this prep. Likely to measure up again. PEPTIDE YAMATO (1) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten one length. Likely improver with strong prospects. SOUTHERN ELF (12) is back at the races for the first time since July 20. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Has to be respected.
