GOING: G

UJIGAWA TOKUBETSU 1400m

Track:      

Holy Blossom to take charge ahead of Lily Field at a strong tempo. HOLY BLOSSOM (1) is a speedy filly who was a winner first-up at Chukyo seven weeks ago, taking charge from the outset and winning with a bit in reserve. Not a great deal of depth to this field so she should get the job done again. LILY FIELD (8) lines up for the first time since July 20. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at Hakodate. Will be hard to beat with a repeat of that performance. SARONIKOS (3) last appeared when fourth over 1400m at Hanshin six months ago. Can't see her toppling the favourite but include her in trifectas and first fours. YELL TO HEAVEN (9) won at this track and distance at his last outing four-and-a-half months ago. Minor claims only.
