GOING: G

FUCHU SHISEI 70TH ANNIVERSARY 2000m

Track: FIRM      

Genuine pace headed by Win Snowlight from his wide draw. DOCTOR DOLITTLE (6) is having his first run since January 28. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from two starts, the latest over 1800m at Hanshin at the start of last prep. Looks set to run well. MEINER MOND (9) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1800m at Nakayama. Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from seven runs and will play a prominent role. DANON THE TIGER (5) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Nakayama over 2000m on January 20. Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Grade 2 placed and is one of the main contenders. EIKAI MCENROE (10) drifted back from his wide draw last start then hit the line hard to score by half a length at Chukyo over 2000m. Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from seven runs and is a key contender.
