GOING:

Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Tempo strong with Steve Barows and Ropa Chic pushing forward. ROPA CHIC (15) finished second on debut 11 months ago, beaten one length over 1800m at Sapporo, and has not been produced since. Has a wide gate to overcome but is expected to prove tough to beat. STEVE BAROWS (12) was well fancied last start over 1800m at this track when third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Great chance to atone. CLASSICAL KAISER (9) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh last start over 2000m at Niigata eight weeks ago. Miku Kobayashi has never been out of the money from three rides. Has winning claims on best figures. PERE NOEL (3) finished 4.5 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 2000m at this track on June 28 after he was well back on straightening. In the mix.
