GOING: G

SAGAMIKO TOKUBETSU 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Very keen early battle with Requin and Volta Do Mar matching motors and there are a few others that can keep them busy. OMEGA WINK (7) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 4.5 lengths behind Garonne over 1400m in Listed grade at Kyoto. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on two occasions from seven starts. Sure to run well. ELISE DIA (1) has been freshened up since a narrow defeat last time over 1400m at this track. Genuine contender. NICHOLAUS (4) lifted strongly to score by half a length when fresh from a spell two runs back at this venue then finished 14th over 1200m at Group 3 level at Kyoto last time in tougher grade. Goes very well at this journey, boasting two wins from four starts and has winning claims on best figures. SATONO WILLE (5) progressed nicely last time out to score by one length over 1400m at Niigata. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
