FRANKIE BAROWS (3) has been in the money at both runs this campaign, finding the line strongly last time to finish second over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Great chance to break through. AMERICAN BAR (10) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt when third, beaten 6 lengths. Will improve and is worth another chance. MEISHO YASHIMA (1) ran below expectations last time at Niigata, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths starting at $3. Finds a nice race and can atone. IRELAND'S CALL (8) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Niigata Dirt over 1800m, beaten 0.9 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
