GOING: G

KOTO TOKUBETSU 1600m

Track: GOOD      

A solid tempo on the cards with Lux Zinnia taking charge. DANON KILAUEA (1) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1400m at Kyoto when coming back from a break. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Has won fresh and looks a leading contender. LUX ZINNIA (9) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Sapporo. Has ability and should be right in the finish. WATER CLARK (7) lines up for the first time since August 2. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Hakodate. One to consider. NEVE FRESCA (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on October 12, finishing tenth and beaten 4 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo. One to consider.
