GOING:

Race 12 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Citron Vert and Kurino Falcon engaging in an early battle ahead of Malaia Garnet and Tsukasa Train. SOTSUNASA (5) has registered three minor placings from three runs this preparation. Was always up in the leading division and finished third last time out over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. MALAIA GARNET (8) returned to winning form last start, scoring by a neck over this journey at Kasamatsu. Has started three times at this journey and has never missed the frame. Definite winning hope. CITRON VERT (11) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 2000m at this track. Should cross from wide out and can build on that strong effort last start. LUX SCHNEIDER (6) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1500m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
