GOING: G

TSUKIOKAONSEN TOKUBETSU 2000m

Track: STANDARD      

Without any speed horses engaged they won't go too hard. NEWSIES (8) opened this prep eight weeks ago and scored over 1600m at Tokyo, getting home by 2 lengths. Genuine galloper with two wins from three starts. Looks to have an edge on most of these. Grade 3 placegetter WIN ODIN (4) changes rider since being well held last time in seventh over 1800m at Tokyo on June 23. Saves his best for this circuit and can bounce back. Grade 2 placegetter NAMURA HOOKER (1) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance in Listed grade at Kyoto over 1800m on May 26. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. ALL SAINTS (7) has not appeared since he scored over 2200m at Kyoto on June 1. Promising colt with definite claims.
