Kokura Race 9 - Aoshima Tokubetsu

ACROPHASE (5) is a talented colt who tackled the elite grade last time in, the latest The Grade 1 Japanese Guineas at Nakayama. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. This far easier and will go close. DARK MARS (2) held on well to finish second last start over 1600m at Kyoto, beaten a nose. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. MUSKULEST (6) opened this prep last start with a fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1800m at Kyoto. Expected to feature. RED STERN (3) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Fukushima. Definite top-three chance.
