Kokura Race 1 - Maiden Race
DERNIER JOY (14) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. LET'S ENJOY (5) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Likely to feature. BLUE METEOR (16) finished 6 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt eight weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be prominent from the outset. One to consider. BAKERATTA (8) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, an improvement on his tenth on debut at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
