GOING:

THE MAINICHI OKAN 1800m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Ho O Biscuits taking up the running ahead of Sirius Colt and Satono Shining. SATONO SHINING (10) is a promising type who was fourth over 2400m in the G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) at this track on June 1. Has a very strong record first-up including two wins. Resumes in easier and is the one to beat in this. LEBENSSTIL (9) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep, finishing seventh over 1600m at Hanshin. Record here is impressive with two wins from four starts. Has two wins fresh and likely to feature on best figures. CERVINIA (6) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1600m in Group 3 grade at Hanshin. Has a strong record here and is a two time Grade 1 winner. Expected to run well. HO O BISCUITS (8) showed early speed from a good draw when returning from a break last time and battled on to finish eighth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 2000m in the G2 Sapporo Kinen. Was runner-up in this last year. Has a consistent second-up record and worth another chance.
