GOING:

CANNA STAKES 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Pace should be on from the outset with Ecoro Sieg, Love Aimee and Rapier going hard, closely attended by Namura Trom. ECORO SIEG (1) is an exciting prospect who started at a very short quote on debut five weeks ago and ran up to the hype, leading all the way and putting five lengths on his nearest rival. Should lead again from the inside draw and keep the 100% record intact. The fleet-footed RAPIER (7) returned from a brief spell last start and finished fourth in the Grade 3 Kokura Nisai Stakes, beaten 2.3 lengths after leading the field for home. Drops back a level or two today and will offer stiff opposition for the top pick. MOZU NANA STAR (5) won her maiden two starts ago then got further back than usual before working home well to finish third over 1200m at Sapporo last time. Doubt she can match the top pair but should run well again. LOVE AIMEE (6) has not raced since winning on debut over this trip at Kokura on 14 July. Promising filly who cannot be taken lightly.

Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; favourite; scored a big 5 len win at Niigata August 17 over 1200m defeating Conspiracy with 55.0kg at $1.40. Drawn perfectly and he is a top chance.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, 8th of 16 at this track on September 15 over 1200m, 6 len behind Virgil with 55.0kg at $95.10. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Useful filly. At the latest run came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Sapporo on September 1 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Kawakita Mana Lea with 55.0kg at $7.70. Before that won by 1.3 len at Sapporo August 11 over 1200m defeating A Shin Panta Rhei carrying 55.0kg at $1.30. Sure to be right there at the business end.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when won by 1.3 len at Kokura July 14 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Onimaru carrying 55.0kg at $11. Anticipate a bold showing.
