Hakodate Race 9 - Gagyuzan Tokubetsu
COME UP ROSES (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 2000m at this track after he settled well back. Should be peaking now and is expected to feature in the finish. GO GO TAKASHI (3) did a good job last start to finish second at Tokyo over 1800m, beaten half a length. Hasn't been far away this time in work with three minor placings from six starts. Best form puts him right in this. DOGWOOD (4) finished second last time over 1800m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. NETTAIYA RAI (5) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in seventh at this course and distance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Don't underestimate.

At the latest run 3rd of 10 at this track on June 14 over 1800m, 2 len behind Monroe Walk with 53.0kg at $9.70. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 11 at Kyoto on May 23 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind T M I Run carrying 55.0kg at $32.10. Capable of a strong showing.

Racing well recently. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 11 at Tokyo on May 31 over 1800m, 0.5 len behind Ceylon Gems carrying 55.0kg at $4.70. Before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 13 at Niigata on May 9 over 1800m, 0.5 len behind Spin The Blood with 58.0kg at $8.70. Overdue. With a little improvement can take this out.

Second-up. First-up after four months came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at this track on June 14 over 1800m, 2 len behind Monroe Walk with 55.0kg at $4.50. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 16 at Nakayama on December 20 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Mr Right carrying 56.0kg at $62.10. Nice return and fitter again.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 15 at Kyoto on May 23 over 1800m, 0.6 len behind Madison Girl carrying 56.0kg at $6.40. The run before that 3rd of 14 at Kyoto on April 26 over 1800m, 1.75 len behind Erika Endive carrying 56.0kg at $7.20. Cannot be ruled out.

Third-up today. First-up raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 13 at Kyoto Dirt on May 2 over 1400m, 13 len behind Real Star carrying 58.0kg at $9.10. Second-up led to the turn then faded 5th of 10 at this track on June 14 over 1800m, 5 len behind Monroe Walk with 58.0kg at $17.40. Can't make much of a case.
