Kokura Race 9 - Hobashirayama Tokubetsu

NARITA ESPERANZA (7) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 2000m at Hanshin. Has a high cruising speed. Won only other try second-up and expected to go close again. SARATOGA CHIPS (5) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Nakayama over 2500m on March 7. Expect him to play a major role. NEW CREDO (6) returns from a spell of nine weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 2200m at Chukyo. One of the genuine hopes in the race. BOND LOA (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run four-and-a-half months ago when tenth, beaten 6 lengths. Makes plenty of appeal.
