GOING: G

Race 11 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Solid pace with Katsuno Tokimeki finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. KATSUNO TOKIMEKI (6) was dominant last start, scoring by eight lengths at this track to make it four wins in a row. Boasts an excellent record at this journey and looks set to go very well again. INCLUDED (5) has also been in strong form, winning twice at this course, most recently on September 17 by two lengths. Well suited here and difficult to beat. BRAVERY BOSS (7) has been out of the winner’s list for some time, finishing fifth last start after being prominent on the bend. Drawn to advantage and capable of improvement. GRASS TOP ROAD (11) was runner-up here two starts ago but ran below par last time. Finds a softer assignment and can bounce back into the finish.
