Kokura Race 6 - Maiden Race
KYOKIRAMBU (1) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1700m, doing his best work late. Draws a far better gate this time so with the run under the belt he has bright prospects. LLEVADA (9) finished 11th on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Heading the right way and looks hard to beat in this suitable race. BLESSED NILE (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Kokura, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. TOKEN SOUR (4) finished 5.5 lengths adrift in sixth when back from a break last start over 1200m at Kokura. Has plenty of upside. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Sure to be thereabouts.
