GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Hollyhock leading from Cosmo Joseph and Kisling. HOLLYHOCK (3) has four wins and two minor placings from 12 races this campaign. Scored last start by 4 lengths at this track over 1400m after being up on the pace all the way. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of running a bold race. COSMO JOSEPH (1) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished tenth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Niigata Dirt then improved and scored as public elect over 1600m at this track a month ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Can go back-to-back. KISLING (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when ninth over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. NEO AMAZONES (5) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1900m at this track after showing good early speed. Likely improver with strong prospects.
