AKANKO TOKUBETSU 2600m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Meiner Zeus. DANON HISTORY (2) was quickly into stride over 2600m at Hakodate when resuming last time and went on to score by 30 lengths. That was on the NAR circuit and was classes above. This tougher but fitter again and expected to go close. JUN TSUBAMEGAESHI (12) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten one length, over 2600m at this track. Yuga Kawada has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Well placed and should be in the finish. SARATOGA CHIPS (9) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 2600m at Kokura when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. ASK DEAD HEAT (6) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 2600m at this track, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Solid top-three hope.
