THOR HAMMER (8) lines up for the first time since June 2. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1100m at Monbetsu. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal fresh. SORCERESS (12) finished third at this track and distance at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CHOCOLAT BREAD (4) finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, only beaten 0.8 lengths. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to make a big impact. FILER TEMPS (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up performance. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to cope.
