GOING: S

Race 11 1200m

Track: SOFT      

Plenty of speed engaged with Dualist, Muumuu and Max going forward ahead of Theurgist and Menkoi Bokuchan. SELTSAM (4) is back at the races for the first time since October 10. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at this track. Should be hard to stop. THEURGIST (13) has not appeared since he finished eighth over 1200m at this track on December 2. Has recorded four wins when first up from a break. Comes here with definite claims. MUUMUU (11) has switched yards since finishing eighth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Can make her presence felt. MENKOI BOKUCHAN (7) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 5 lengths. Ryoya Sawada gets the best out of this six-year-old entire. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them.
