Verdict

LIVE BAFFY (7) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on July 9 over 7f when he scored by one length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TOSEN ADELAIDE (10) started at $2.30 last time but could only manage seventh, beaten 9 lengths, at Urawa over 7 ½f. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Among the leading chances. BEL LEONE (2) resumed three weeks ago over 7 ½f at this track and was only beaten 1.75 lengths into fifth after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DIR BRAND (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 7f at Urawa. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
