GOING: S

Race 10 1200m

Track: SOFT      

From the wide draw Cool Gadget can cross and set up a solid tempo. INSIDER (7) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1200m at this track. Has ability and can get off the mark. ETERNEL (2) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a neck, over 1200m at this track when fresh from a break. Leading player again. NITRO (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1500m at Urawa after being prominent at the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. COOL GADGET (10) lines up for the first time since December 16. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
