GOING: G

SHIRAKAWA TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo likely with Yamanin Galassia, Nishino Ti Amo and Forlanini prominent. FORLANINI (14) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths over today's journey at Tokyo. Has a good record at this trip with a win and four placings. Rates highly and should go well. NISHINO TI AMO (2) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 2.5 lengths over 1800m at Tokyo. Will be better for that latest run and can go on with it. YAMANIN LOOP (7) made late ground and finished third last time over 2000m at Hanshin, beaten 3.5 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. I CAN DO IT (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 2000m at Hanshin. Sure to give a sight.
