GOING:

KATSUURA TOKUBETSU 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Wing Blue, Piko Argyle and Isola Felice prominent. SUMIKKO DISCO (14) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Tokyo. Has found the right race to successfully launch this prep. DREAMING UP (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing third and beaten only 2 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ISOLA FELICE (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at Fukushima over 1200m on July 5. Sure to make her presence felt. BIG FLOWER (9) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Can measure up again.
