Niigata Race 6 - Furumachi Stakes

BRETWALDA (7) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 2 lengths over 1800m at this track. Building a top record this course and distance including a big win fresh. Top chance again. ARARE TABASHIRU (14) showed little early dash when resuming last start but found the line strongly to get up for second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over this course and distance. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and two minor placings from four runs. Can play a major role. RIVER TRUE (11) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. LOFTY STORY (13) has not raced since she finished fifth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on June 21. Hard to knock.
