GOING:

KASHIKOJIMA TOKUBETSU 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Strong early tempo assured with Reve Genial, Fioraia and Queen's Please locking horns. JUN VIN QUETE (8) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track and proved too strong, scoring by a neck. Open to plenty of improvement and is clearly the one they have to beat. FIORAIA (15) is a speedy filly who returned from a break with a win over 1200m at Sapporo. Form at this distance is strong with two wins from four starts and is sure to run well. T O SPARROW (12) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten one length, at this track over 1200m. Should be involved in the finish. PROTOPOROS (9) is a handy type who resumes after a break of 11 weeks. Only appeared once last prep when he finished seventh over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has two wins to his name when fresh from a spell. Capable of a bold run while fresh.
