SOTOBO STAKES 1200m Track: YIELDING |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
From the wide gate Kurino Olive should cross and lead. ROSE CHARIS (2) last appeared when successful by half a length over 1000m at Kokura Dirt 12 weeks ago, the only time she went to the races last prep. Goes well fresh. Drawn for a soft run and looks a top chance. WANDERER (9) resumed over 1200m at this track last time out and finished second, beaten a neck. Overall record is sound when second-up and has plenty of upside with the run under his belt. Among the leading chances. KANESHO LEGEND (10) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on July 4, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Record at this journey is impressive with three wins and two placings from seven runs and is capable of going well. LIGHTNING ZEUS (13) finished 5.5 lengths behind the winner in 11th place when resuming over 1200m last start at Niigata Dirt. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Can do better than last.
