GOING: G

Race 11 800m

Track: GOOD     True  

Keen tempo with Eri Kohaku and Tamamo Altair prominent. TOKKI HOLLETT (5) is a four-time winner who has been at the top of her game of late, scoring by 3 lengths last time out over 800m at this track. Races well here and the hat-trick beckons. ERI KOHAKU (7) lines up for the first time since April 25. Looking to emulate her win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Has found a suitable race and can take this out, especially if the money comes for her. TAMAMO ALTAIR (4) faded last time to finish sixth over 1200m at Funabashi after showing good early speed. Can bounce back, and will take some pegging back again. CRYSTALLIZE (3) was a fair sixth in a 900m contest at Kawasaki two weeks ago. Best efforts measure up, so he is worth another chance.
