GOING: G

HTB HAI 1200m

Track:      

Expecting Nishino Levante to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. PORTAFORTUNA (4) turned in a handy position before finishing third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.2 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOSEN THUNDER (12) is a two-time winner over this distance range and should be at peak fitness for this. Looms as the main danger. TAISEI FESTA (2) resumes here but draws favourably and may run a race while fresh. KVASIR (7) won over this track and trip when first-up and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Can go back-to-back.
