Sapporo Race 12 - Niseko Tokubetsu
LONG MIX (11) saluted at Tokyo Dirt two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when fourth over 1800m at Sapporo, beaten 1.2 lengths after working home well. Nicely placed to return to winning form. GOLD BLAZE (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4.5 lengths away in third over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Will take advantage of the good draw. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. MEISHO KOSHU (3) finished second last start over 1700m at this track, beaten a neck. The engagement of Yutaka Take is a positive move. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. SUMMER NIGHT (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1700m at this track. One of the key contenders.
