Kokura Race 9 - Dazaifu Tokubetsu
HEART METEOR (3) finished fifth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2000m at Kyoto, beaten only one length. Has her share of ability. Will take beating. MUTTRAH CORNICHE (6) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in sixth over 2200m at Kyoto on November 30. Has won fresh and won only try course and distance. Nicely placed and sure to go well. WILL SURVIVE (7) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 2000m at Kyoto. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the key runners. FAMILY TREE (1) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on December 13, finishing seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin. Looks a strong top-three prospect.

Previously first up; sixth of 15 at Kyoto November 22 over 2000m, 5 len behind Mikki Gold carrying 56.0kg at $30.60. Best form gives her a decent chance.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 6th of 11 at Nakayama on December 21 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Shadow Meteor with 56.0kg at $12. Second run from a spell raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 at Nakayama on January 11 over 1800m, 1.0 len behind Conduire with 56.0kg at $6.20. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently second last of 13 at Nakayama on January 11 over 1800m, 6 len behind Conduire with 56.0kg at $6.70. The start before that 2nd of 11 at Nakayama on December 21 over 2000m, 0.8 len behind Shadow Meteor with 56.0kg at $15.30. Hard to make much of a case.

At the latest run raced on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Kyoto on January 25 over 2000m, neck behind Tagano Abby carrying 55.0kg at $6.60. The run before that ran last of 11 at Kyoto on January 5 over 1800m, 12 len behind Chernobog carrying 55.0kg at $5.50. Near miss last start. Right in the mix.
