Sapporo Race 9 - Clover Sho
Some smart types come together a few unbeaten records go on the line. FRAOCHAN (7) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 1200m at Hakodate six weeks ago. Highly promising and can measure up again. BLUE JAY (6) was in control from the outset to score as favourite on debut over 1500m at this track three weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. LARDON CHASE (10) drifted back then closed strongly to score on debut over 1400m at Tokyo 11 weeks ago and has not appeared since. Has the talent to mix it with these. STELLAR TOP GUN (1) wound up strongly in the run home last start to register an impressive win over 1200m at Hakodate. Confidence high after that last performance so another big run is on the cards.

At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Monbetsu on July 28 over 1000m defeating Kura Prosper with 55kg at $2.20.

Returns from a 32-day let-up. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 9 at Monbetsu on July 21 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind A Shin Ultrun with 55kg at $2.10. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 10 at Monbetsu on June 17 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Double Game with 55kg at $6.30. Prefer to see.

Last start ran second last of 9 at Monbetsu on July 21 over 1200m, 9 len behind A Shin Ultrun carrying 55kg at $19.30. Needs to find several lengths to threaten.

The race before that 2nd of 9 at Hakodate on July 5 over 1200m, nose behind La Ilias carrying 52.0kg at $5.90. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.
