HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (7) produced a good effort last start over this distance at this track, scoring by 4 lengths. Has never missed the frame at this course, including seven wins and three placings. Major player. SUN ESPERANCE (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over 1500m. Likely improver with strong prospects. DAWN COSMO (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1500m at this track. Can bounce back. THALJ (10) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 1500m at this track. Record at this track is strong. Worth considering.
