GOING: G

Race 12 2000m

Track: GOOD     True  

Genuine tempo early with Colorful Fresco, Raikono Hikari and Corte Defeat to vie for the lead. COLORFUL FRESCO (7) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths as public elect over 2000m at this track. Likely to be in the finish again. RAIKONO HIKARI (8) is going better than form suggests, last time finishing a 0.9 lengths fourth over 1500m at this track. Taito Mori who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. KURODABUSHI (6) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1650m at Ohi, beaten 8 lengths. Can do much better. GLORIOUS MAY (9) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing second over 2000m at this track last time out. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and is not to be discounted.
