Niigata Race 4 - Mdn Race
CRIMSON LEAF (12) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten only a neck after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MONSTER RUSH (10) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when third over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Well placed out to a longer trip now. Solid prospects. ADELPHI (3) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at Fukushima Dirt, finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $3.30. Expect a big run this time. KASHIMA RAIFU (8) was in the money two starts back at Fukushima Dirt then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. The blinkers go on. This looks a nice race for him.

At the latest run raced on the speed throughout before fading 10th of 15 at Fukushima Dirt on July 18 over 1700m, 6 len behind Squeeze Out with 57.0kg at $3.30. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on May 17 over 1800m, 2 len behind Etincelle with 57.0kg at $3. Better than last start suggests; he can bounce back.

Having third race start. At very big odds at debut, 14th of 16 at Tokyo on May 30 over 2000m, 9 len behind Bell Wood Bio with 55.0kg at $153. Second-up 14th of 16 at Hakodate on June 28 over 2600m, 15 len behind Nori Maru carrying 55.0kg at $205.70. Not doing enough of late to threaten.
