GOING:

ISHIKARI TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Go Go Takashi and Grand Saison leading the charge. VALO ARC (8) is a promising colt yet to miss the frame in two starts, including a win. Is at the races for the first time since he finished second over 1600m at Tokyo on May 17. Sure to have improved over the break so he is likely to be in the finish. MEINER CYMBELINE (1) resumed last time out and finished second over 1800m at Hakodate, beaten a neck. Best figures read very well. LONG MIX (2) joins forces with N Yokoyama again after they combined to salute last time out over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Nice weight drop this time around. Should be involved in the finish again. GRAINES DE JOIE (4) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1800m at Hakodate. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
