Sapporo Race 1 - Maiden Race
ANIMA RAY (12) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Hakodate over 1200m. Should park just off the speed. Best form puts him on top in this line-up. MARU MORI RAPIDUS (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Hakodate, beaten 2.5 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects. STORM THUNDER (10) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 8 lengths away in sixth over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. BRIGHT FLARE (4) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in sixth at Hanshin over 1400m. Expected to do more.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, second last of 9 at Hakodate on June 15 over 1200m, 14 len behind Rouge Saudade carrying 55.0kg at $44.10. Second-up 7th of 12 at Hakodate on June 29 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Sigur Ros carrying 55.0kg at $177.40. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
