Sapporo Race 2 - Mdn Race
IPPEI (3) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when second over 1800m at Hakodate after being ridden a touch closer. Progressing well and is sure to measure up again. RAISON FORTE (9) ran on well from worse than midfield on debut last start to finish third over 1800m at this track. Has a wide gate to overcome but he should be finding the line with purpose again. ON THE BALL (2) produced a nice effort on debut last start over 1800m at this track when third, beaten 2.5 lengths. Has a low draw so he should be in the finish. ROUGE ROMANA (8) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1800m at Hakodate. Among the chances.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 4th of 14 at Hakodate on July 19 over 1800m, 4 len behind Tenka Taihei carrying 55.0kg at $156.50. Encouraging signs on debut and is worth following up.
