Sapporo Race 3 - Mdn Race
Open race. TSUKUBA VANGUARD (12) met with solid support last start over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt when sixth, beaten 2.25 lengths. In the money at six of his other seven runs so certainly deserves another chance. ANIMA RAY (6) started favourite at the last run before a break but found a couple better at Tokyo Dirt. Expect he has come on over the break. Nicely placed and expected to go well. MEIWA KIRARI (11) is a genuine type with three minor placings on the trot. Was in the firing line all the way and finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the latest outing over 1000m at Kokura Dirt. Must be included on the strength of that form. NABUCCO (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1000m. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Hakodate Dirt on July 19 over 1000m, 5 len behind Mischev Marianne with 52.0kg at $44.90. The race before that 9th of 12 at Hakodate Dirt on July 5 over 1000m, 8 len behind Great Son with 52.0kg at $146.60. Might just find this a bit too tough.
