|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Idea Milagro and Great Journey to set a strong tempo early, joined by Tonopah pushing on from an outside draw. LIVI FACE (2) lines up for the first time since August 10. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Urawa. Expect him to play a major role. TONOPAH (11) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at Urawa two starts back then got the job done by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. GREAT JOURNEY (1) scored first up at this track then finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth over 1600m at Ohi. Generally runs well third up from a spell so a top-three finish is on the cards. VAVILOV (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 7 lengths into ninth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
