GOING:

Race 10 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Katsuno Tokimeki to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. KATSUNO TOKIMEKI (7) is yet to miss the placings in five runs and was a last-start winner at this track over 1200m. Should be prominent from the outset and can give a great sight. POND EXPRESS (12) scored two back but was below his best last time when sixth over 1200m at this track. Good enough on his day and can improve sharply. EIICHI (10) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1200m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from five starts. Major player. IIDE SKY HIGH (6) last start finished sixth over 1200m at this track after being prominent until the final stages. Can play a prominent role.
