Race 7 1400m Track: GOOD |

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

Solid tempo with Derma Purusa leading from Harmony Roi and Sunny Saffron. DERMA PURUSA (9) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1500m at this track nine months ago. Ryo Novata who has four wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. HARMONY ROI (12) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 1200m at Funabashi after he was up on the pace all the way. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. Poses a genuine threat. BECAUSE WE CAN (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. This is a nice drop in grade so he is likely to play a big role. SUNNY SAFFRON (11) did a little better last start at the second run of the campaign, finishing fourth over 1200m at Funabashi. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Must be respected.
