TOGETSUKYO STAKES 1400m

Track:      

Daytona Mode to take up the running with Success Ai and Moonlit Night close at hand. GARONNE (8) started at $2.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 2.25 lengths at Hanshin over 1400m after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. JUHANNUS (2) continued the good recent form when he finished just 0.8 lengths away in second last time out over 1400m at Hanshin. Sound record at this distance with two wins and five minor placings from 10 runs and is set to play a major role. BAND SHELL (6) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1200m at this track. One of the main contenders. YAMANIN ASTRON (10) was safely held when 13th last time out over 1600m at Hanshin, beaten 8 lengths, after a win at Chukyo at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
