GOING: G

YANAGAWA TOKUBETSU 2000m

Track: FIRM   Fine    

Ailes Brave should spear straight to the front of the small field. HO O GIORNO (1) gave a bold display over this course and distance last time, leading for home and boxing on well to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths. Has a strong record at this course, scoring twice from four starts. Leading contender. SCENIC WAY (5) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at Tokyo over 1800m on May 15. Generally goes well here with a win and a placing from three tries. Leading contender. WIND RIPPER (4) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 2000m contest at Hanshin last time out by a neck. Distance specialist who is hard to fault. DADDY'S TRIP (6) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 2200m at Chukyo. Has won first up before so treat with respect.
