DEBORAH (13) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MIKKI MACAPA (9) is on debut for the Hiroyasu Tanaka stable. Three-year-old colt by Lord Kanaloa from Lady MacApa. Looks set for a bright start. Watch for positive market leads. BRICKS LATTE (14) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 10 lengths when fifth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. TOUCH DOWN (5) stepped out for her debut over 1200m at Nakayama back on September 15 and finished fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths. Can improve sharply.
