NISHINO BLAZEST (15) went to the lead on straightening but was overwhelmed and finished fourth at his latest appearance over 1800m at this track, clocking in 4.5 lengths from the winner. Cherry ripe now so anticipate a bold showing. PROSPECT PARK (6) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, an improvement on his first-up sixth at this track the run before. Fitter for those runs and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LORD SKYBLUE (1) is back at the races for the first time since July 13. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Looks a strong top three prospect. CORIN CALVELLA (10) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Among the better hopes.
