|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Monster Rush and Crimson Leaf leading the way over Adelphi. CRIMSON LEAF (12) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten only a neck after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MONSTER RUSH (10) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when third over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Well placed out to a longer trip now. Solid prospects. ADELPHI (3) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at Fukushima Dirt, finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $3.30. Expect a big run this time. KASHIMA RAIFU (8) was in the money two starts back at Fukushima Dirt then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. The blinkers go on. This looks a nice race for him.
