THE KYOTO SHIMBUN HAI 2200m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hayatenofukunosuke is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. VELOCE ERA (7) was beaten just a neck last start when second in a small field over 2400m at Hanshin. Promising stayer who looks ready to tackle this tougher race at just his fourth trip to the races. ADMIRE TERRA (14) settled well back when resuming last time out then found the line strongly to finish 2 lengths away in fourth over 2000m in Listed grade at Hanshin. Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and looks suited by the extra ground. Will be in the finish. IN THE MOMENT (12) was impressive last time over 2400m at Hanshin, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Beaten just half a length at Grade 3 level the start prior. One of the main contenders again. BELLAGIO BOND (8) lines up on the back of a 6 length third over 1800m at Hanshin in the Grade 3 Mainichi Hai. Ticks all the right boxes.
