GOING: G

GORYOKAKU STAKES 1800m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo anticipated with Dantsu Fighter and Mikki Jewelry ahead of In Vogue and Impact Sea. IMPACT SEA (7) returns from a layoff of three months. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from three tries. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DANTSU FIGHTER (3) went forward last start over 1800m at Tokyo and held on well for third, beaten a long neck. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CATERINA (1) turned in a fine effort to score by 3.5 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. Meets a stronger field but she is capable of another big run. IN VOGUE (8) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at Hanshin but couldn't back it up last start when eighth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1600m at Kyoto. Well placed and should be in the mix.

Having second run back today. Last run scored a big 3.5 len win at this track June 13 over 1800m defeating Meisterwerk carrying 56.0kg at $8. At only start last preparation ran second last of 16 at Fukushima on November 24 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Nolan Sunrise carrying 56.0kg at $8.90. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Improver with winning prospects.
