GOING:

NOWAKI TOKUBETSU 1600m

Track: STANDARD      

Solid tempo with Stop The Time going forward from the good alley. G T MAN (11) turned in a strong run last time at the first run of the prep when he settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only a neck into second over 1600m at Chukyo. Has saluted when second-up in the past so he is likely to feature again. STOP THE TIME (2) was prominent from the outset when second over 1600m at this track last time out at the first run back from a spell. Will go forward again and prove tough to beat. VOCALIZE (1) was a dominant winner last time at Chukyo over the same distance as this. Improving with racing and he is one of the main contenders again. I GOT IT (14) resumed over 1600m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the better chances.
