GOING:

Race 10 2000m

Track:      

They should run this along with Takeru Survival and Miyagi Emperor taking it up over Lily Barows. TAKERU SURVIVAL (2) was well in commission last start over 2000m at this track when fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Nice alley and can make amends. MIYAGI EMPEROR (8) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 2000m at this track after he was prominent at the turn. Will strip fitter and will be tough to beat. CERRADO (4) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. DERE CHOP (9) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Scored a good win at his final run last campaign at Urawa over 2000m. Worth plenty of thought.
