IWAMUROONSEN TOKUBETSU 1200m Track: FIRM |

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

Strong tempo with Parapsychology, Morino Sepia and Dazzling Dance leading the way. PARAPSYCHOLOGY (9) is a promising galloper who won at her only run last prep ten weeks ago over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. MONDE PLUME (5) finished fourth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt at his most recent appearance on June 14. Has ability and should be right in the finish. DAZZLING DANCE (1) clung on to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten a neck when fresh from a spell. Looks well placed so expect another forward display. MORINO SEPIA (14) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects.
