GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track:      

Genuine pace headed by Ad Libitum who should kick up along the paint. LUCKY CROWN (6) was impressive last time over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, scoring by 3 lengths. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on two occasions from six starts. Among the leading chances. AD LIBITUM (1) progressive colt resuming today after two runs in his maiden campaign, the latest effort a second over 1200m at this track on July 14. Has ability and is sure to have come on over the break. OWSLA FLAG (12) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1200m at Monbetsu. Has a solid record at this journey with two wins from five starts. Another bold showing is expected. PROUD MARY (8) finished third last start over 1200m at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out.
