Kokura Race 10 - Mekari Tokubetsu

MATENRO BRAVE (13) was in the market first up but could only manage fifth over 1700m at this track last start. Got back and charged home late though and was close to the winner. Has a solid second-up record. Can improve sharply. LIFE GATE (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to get the prize. SUPERJOCK (2) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. MAXIMUM VISTA (14) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m on October 4. Taisei Danno who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Among the top-three hopes.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 49 days. Resuming sat behind the speed prior to fading 12th of 15 at Hanshin Dirt on December 21 over 1800m, 13 len behind Del Avar carrying 56.0kg at $158.40. Second run from a spell second last of 13 at Kyoto Dirt on January 4 over 1800m, 14 len behind Grande Plage with 58.0kg at $175.80. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
