GOING: G

Race 11 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Moderate tempo with Honeyberry leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. TAISEI SCHALT (2) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second two starts back then scored by one length as public elect last time out over 1200m at this track. Major player. YAMANIN HISTORIA (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was 11th over 1200m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. REVUELTO DIO (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Look for sharp improvement. HONEYBERRY (11) finished second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten a head. Should be cherry-ripe. Can give this a shake.
