Sapporo Race 1 - Maiden Race
GRAINES DE JOIE (12) was prominent from the outset on debut last time out, holding on well for third over 1800m at Sapporo. Has a wide gate to overcome but he should be in the finish again. MIYA ESCAPE (13) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1700m at this track in a tougher race. Jumps from a wide draw but she is worth following up. UNISON (11) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at Fukushima. Fitter and worth including. TIBURON (9) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1800m at Hakodate. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Solid claims on best form.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 13th of 16 at Hakodate on June 28 over 1200m, 9 len behind Fiorano with 55.0kg at $75.30. Second-up second last of 10 at Hakodate on July 6 over 1200m, 14 len behind Tagano Aralia carrying 52.0kg at $180.60. Needs to find a few lengths to test these.
