GOING: G

Race 10 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Plenty of pace established by Tosen Gemini, Fat Dragon and Monument King, with Kana Always close at hand. TOSEN GEMINI (7) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1400m at this track at her latest appearance. Has a strong record here at this journey. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. KANA ALWAYS (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 6 lengths at today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Must raise the bar but another win beckons. GONZAGO (10) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 15th over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Worth plenty of thought. ENERGY POCO A POCO (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at Funabashi. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
