GOING:

KOMAGATAKE TOKUBETSU 2600m

Track:      

Meiner Zeus is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. BUZZ UP BEAT (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1800m at Tokyo after being prominent at the turn. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is certainly up to this. LAUREL ORB (2) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2600m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. ASK FIRE MORE (3) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last ten weeks ago when he scored over 2600m at Fukushima. Worth plenty of thought. MEINER ZEUS (8) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 2000m at Fukushima after racing in the leading division. Should be thereabouts.
