GOING:

MAHOROBA STAKES(L) 1600m

Track:      

Hot tempo expected from Shin Forever and Theo. BUENA ONDA (6) turned in a fine effort to score by a neck at today's course and distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Meeting a deeper field this time but even fitter and will go close again. SHIN FOREVER (3) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance in the G3 Chukyo Kinen over 1600m 11 weeks ago. Resuming in easier company and looks a strong chance fresh. TAGANO ELPIDA (9) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1600m in the G3 Keisei Hai Autumn Handicap at Nakayama, finishing 13th and beaten 6 lengths. Should park just off the speed. This easier and capable of bouncing back. THEO (15) finished 15th over 1800m at Listed level at this track at his most recent appearance on May 25. Goes well at the course and distance. Not without claims.
