THE RADIO NIKKEI SHO 1800m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong pace headed by Coronado Bridge, Rouge Voyage and Gene King. SKY SPLENDOR (14) resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1800m at Kyoto. Promising colt with upside and will be tough to beat. RITZ PARTY (5) is fresh from a win last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths at Tokyo over 1800m. Will appreciate the drop in the weights. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Expecting a bold showing. SANONO GREATER (13) is a talented colt who tackled a tougher race at his last run on April 19 and finished ninth behind Lovcen over 2000m in the G1 Satsuki Sho (Japanese 2000 Guineas) at Nakayama. Settles back early but winds up late. One to consider. LORBEERKRANZ (12) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo. Well placed and likely to feature.
