Kokura Race 9 - Shiranui Tokubetsu

ELF STRUCK (7) is back at the races for the first time since May 17. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kyoto. One of the genuine hopes in the race. HORTOBAGY (5) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over this journey at Kyoto Dirt. Nicely placed and expected to go well. ON THE MOVE (6) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a neck over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Fitter for that last hitout and looks a big threat to the top selection. LORD MANNHEIM (8) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1800m at Tokyo on April 26. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
