THE SPRINTERS STAKES 1200m Track: STANDARD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strong early tempo assured with Puro Magic, Victor The Winner and Win Greatest locking horns. Multiple Grade 3 winner SATONO REVE (12) scored at last run before a break then resumed where he left off when a fresh up winner in the G3 Keeneland Cup at Sapporo. Unbeaten in two starts second up. First try this level but promising and leading rider engaged. Expected to measure up. MAD COOL (7) finished 11th over 1200m in the G1 Chairman's Sprint Prize at Sha Tin on April 28 beaten 14 lengths. Has a strong record when fresh, claiming five wins from nine runs and scored first up last prep. Just pipped in this last year. Go close. NAMURA CLAIR (5) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1200m in the G3 Keeneland Cup at Sapporo when fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes up a notch this time but has an excellent record second-up and was a close-up third in this last year. MAMA COCHA (6) was last years winner. Finished second over 1200m in the G2 Centaur Stakes fresh which was a very similar run before winning this 12 month ago. Leading player again.
