Sapporo Race 11 - The Sapporo Nisai Stakes(G3)
SHONAN GALLEON (2) Resuming after a break. Finished hard to win last start at Hakodate and having second race start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Has a positive gate. Will go well. COSMO HANAMIZUKI (4) Gave plenty of cheek when 3rd last start at the track and showing consistent performance in races. Placed at every start this preparation. Can measure up to this company. DESERT SPIRIT (3) Ran on hard when winning last run at the track and putting a tidy record together so far. Going well this preparation. Should go close. TENKA TAIHEI (8) Charged home to win last start at Hakodate and was on debut last time. Displays very good finishing speed. Exotics and place contender.

Was $101.00 and lost ground in the run home when 8th last run at Niigata but was a debutant last start. Has drawn the rails. Prefer in something a lot easier.

First up after a break. Strong effort to the line to win last start at Hakodate and having second career run. Likely to be well placed early. Should progress and will be close.

Ran over the top of them when winning last run at this track and solid career start. In strong racing shape since returning from a spell. Has definite claims.

Put together a strong on-speed performance when 3rd beaten by nearly 7L last start at this track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should go close.

Started at $7.50 and looked outclassed when 5th last start around here. Likely to get back in the field. Needs a lot of luck.

Finished well when winning last start at Hakodate and fitter for debut run. Always seems to find the line well. Could be in the mix.

On a quick back up. Started $101.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 13th last run at the track. Might have to make up considerable ground. Will be a challenge.
