GOING:

Race 12 1230m

Track:      

Strong early tempo with Gruner Blitz and Isshin leading the way over Riko Glock. TAMAMO MEGA JOKKI (2) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. GRUNER BLITZ (1) was solidly backed last time out but failed to fire and finished fifth over 1230m at this track. Likely to go forward from a nice draw and can play a major role. HERMANITO (6) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fourth. Among the chances. YUBAE (4) hasn't really produced this campaign but worth consideration today.
