ICHINOMIYA TOKUBETSU 2200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hortus Palatium to take charge ahead of Layered Red at a strong tempo. Looks a nice race for the talented colt DANON JOKER (7) who has won his last two. Extra trip looks a plus and expected to go close fresh. The danger could well be LAYERED RED (6) who was safely held in the Grade 1 St Leger last time. Big class drop and freshened for this. Gets chance to stone. BARNABAS (5) was a determined winner fresh and fitter again. Extra trip a plus and sure to run well. HORTUS PALATIUM (4) has a great fresh-up record. Should run well.
