IIMORIYAMA TOKUBETSU 2000m Track: FIRM |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting Terraforming to take up the running with Anteros and Meiner Hitze close at hand. SPEEDY BREAK (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 14 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 2000m at Chukyo. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. TERRAFORMING (9) was in contention on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 2000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. GRAND GOLD (7) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 1800m at Kokura. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Likely improver with strong prospects. ADMIRE IRU (8) has not raced since he finished tenth over 1800m at Hanshin on March 25 2023. One of the main contenders.
