GOING: G

HTB HAI 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of pace with Fights On and Ignition leading from Karpuz Pelus. NITAMONODOSHI (9) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. KARPUZ PELUS (5) scored by 1.5 lengths over this distance at this track last time out. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of three starts. Likely to feature. MOJA LEO (11) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fourth over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Ready to find winning ways. ROUGE SUERTE (4) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing eighth over 1800m at Tokyo. Can sneak into the finish.
