GOING: G

YABAKEI TOKUBETSU 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Holy Blossom, Nihonpiro Totti and Tana Supernova will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Bourbon Queen and Sunrise Pluto. TANA SUPERNOVA (17) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 3.5 lengths victory over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Will play a major role. SADIQ (16) hit the frame two starts ago at Kyoto but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 2.25 lengths over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MELONE (5) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1200m at this track last time. Record at this journey is strong with two wins from six runs and should be involved in the finish. HOLY BLOSSOM (6) finished fourth over 1200m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
