Sapporo Race 2 - Mdn Race
CHIKA VALIENTE (7) turned in an eye-catching run last time out over 1200m at Hakodate, charging home from well back to finish a nose away in second. Hasn't been far away at all three starts. Sure to go very well. ARDE SHINZAN (3) debuted four weeks ago when he finished ninth over 1800m at Hakodate, beaten 12 lengths. Capable of sharp improvement. REAL JAPAN (4) progressed nicely last start when he made late ground to finish a close third over 1200m at Hakodate after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHOPIN CONCOURS (2) has raced twice. Was second on debut then clocked-in 1.75 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 1200m at Hakodate. Should be thereabouts again.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd of 8 at Hakodate on July 19 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Stellar Top Gun carrying 55.0kg at $20.80. The run before that 4th of 9 at Hakodate on July 5 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind La Ilias with 55.0kg at $62.80. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 34-day let-up. Last start 2nd of 9 at Hakodate on July 5 over 1200m, nose behind La Ilias carrying 52.0kg at $5.90. Before that 2nd of 8 at Hakodate on June 28 over 1200m, 2 len behind Daishin Dragon with 52.0kg at $7.40. Will be hard to hold out.

Raced two times to date. At debut, raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Hakodate on July 11 over 1200m, 8 len behind Fraochan carrying 55.0kg at $5.20. Second-up led to the turn then faded 5th of 8 at this track on July 25 over 1200m, 2 len behind Nurnberg carrying 55.0kg at $8.50. Solid claims.
