|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Shallow First is expected to cross from a wide gate and lead. COSMIC DANCER (3) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2400m at this track. Goes well course and distance and drawn for a soft run. Expected to go close. OTACHI (9) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Great record at trip and placed 3/3 course and distance. Look for a bold run. SHALLOW FIRST (10) has not appeared since he scored over 2400m at Hakodate Dirt on July 12. Led throughout to win over this trip before a break. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MAD GALE (5) was safely held when seventh last time out over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 7 lengths, after a win at Tokyo Dirt at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
