GOING:

TANCHO STAKES 2600m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Mystery Way, Fleur and Sunrise Soleil leading the way. GOLDEN SNAP (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on 23/03/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths over 3000m in the G2 Hanshin Daishoten. S Hamanaka who has four wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. SUNRISE SOLEIL (11) lines up for the first time since June 1. Looking to emulate his win at Kyoto when returning from a spell last prep. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. Comes here with definite claims. DINASTA (8) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 3170m at Kyoto. Worth plenty of thought. FLEUR (2) showed good speed and fought on for second over 2600m in stakes class at this track last time. Commendable record at this trip with a win and three minor placings and will be about the money.
