GOING:

MATSUMAE TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Or Noir and Toa Raiden. LILA BONITO (12) comes here off a break of three months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kyoto. Should be hard to stop. TELEOS SARAH (11) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.5 lengths when fifth over 2000m at Nakayama eight weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ARATAMA FEVRE (15) showed good early pace over 1800m at Fukushima when resuming last time and kept going to score by 1.75 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. TOA RAIDEN (8) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 2000m at Nakayama, beaten a nose. Has a high cruising speed. Don't underestimate.
