GOING:

TAMBA TOKUBETSU 1400m

Track:      

Expecting Laila to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. LAILA (1) is a promising four-year-old filly who returned from a break last start and finished a head away in second over 1400m at Chukyo. Yet to finish further back than fourth in six career starts. Clearly the one to beat. AJMAN (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. SANATION (4) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Scored a determined win at his final run last campaign at Kyoto over 1400m. Sure to make his presence felt. GAMMA G T P (7) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Chukyo, beaten 1.75 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Anticipating another big run.
