Verdict

DU MAVERICK (15) resumes for a new yard after finishing in the money over 1 ¹/16m at Fukushima Dirt at the last appearance on June 27. Goes well course and distance and while fresh. Has the pace tp overcome the draw and will take catching. T O LYMAN (6) returns after a spell of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1 ¹/16m at Kokura Dirt. Has found a suitable race. INTIMISTE (3) scored a dominant victory at Fukushima Dirt over 1 ¹/16m at his latest appearance on July 11. Worth plenty of thought. MEDICI POWER (11) did a great job to score by 1.3 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a nice progression on the first-up performance. Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope.
