Sapporo Race 1 - Mdn Race
A race in two if ever there was one. PHARAOH QUEEN (4) will find this easier than her second on debut seven weeks ago, beaten 2 lengths at the end of 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Sure to take a lot from that hitout and her figure last time says she should be taking this out. TO THE FINAL (7) showed ability at his only start back on June 14 when third over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Likely improver and the only realistic threat to the top selection. SIR GUSTAVE (3) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Sapporo over 1800m, beaten 7 lengths. Has upside and worth including in exotic wagers. SOUND EFFORT (11) ran a better race last time at his second career start when fourth over 1000m at this track. Open to further improvement.

At debut, 3rd in a small field at this track on July 25 over 1700m, 31 len behind Legame Del Vento carrying 54.0kg at $7.40. Good effort on debut but this looks a stern test.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 5th of 10 at Sapporo on August 2 over 1800m, 7 len behind Ho O Prema carrying 55.0kg at $68.50. Encouraging signs on debut and is worth following up.

Was well in the market at debut, sat on the pace when 2nd of 11 at Kokura Dirt on July 5 over 1700m, 2 len behind Takeru Legend carrying 55.0kg at $4.80. Sure to take a lot from that experience and looks a bit too good for this field.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 8th of 10 at Tokyo on June 20 over 1600m, 12 len behind Lotschberg carrying 55.0kg at $5.40. Last start settled back and ran on when 6th of 12 at this track on August 9 over 1700m, 39 len behind Temu Fire with 55.0kg at $4.80. Needs to do more.

Last start 5th of 12 at this track on August 9 over 1700m, 34 len behind Temu Fire carrying 52.0kg at $14.30. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at this track on July 26 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Clausura carrying 52.0kg at $18.90. Others read better. This will test.
