Niigata Race 7 - The Leopard Stakes(G3)

MERCANTOUR (12) is a promising colt yet to miss the frame after four starts, including two wins. Last appeared when he finished second in this class over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt on May 2. Likely to have come on over the break so he is sure to prove tough to beat. SHONAN BANRAI (9) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 5 length win at Kokura Dirt over 1700m. Tougher assignment this time but hard to fault and likely to feature. PYROMANCER (11) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 1900m in the G2 UAE Derby at Meydan Dirt four-and-a-half months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Should be prominent from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. DON ERECTUS (6) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance three months ago over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Sure to make his presence felt.

At the latest run favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 len at Hakodate Dirt July 18 over 1700m defeating Strong Boy with 55.0kg at $3.10. Before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Hakodate Dirt on July 11 over 1700m, 1.5 len behind Eifer Shadow with 55.0kg at $3.30. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Third-up today. Resuming favourite; won by 5 len at Hanshin Dirt June 20 over 1800m defeating Ask Chance Man carrying 53.0kg at $9.30. Second-up favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 5 len at Kokura Dirt July 12 over 1700m defeating Sunrise Kevin carrying 55.0kg at $1.50. Hard to fault. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1800m.
