GOING: G

Race 2 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Nac Regalo should find the front with Miss Forte and Tsurumaru Gekko on his heels. NAC REGALO (6) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1200m here. Ryo Fujita stays aboard and expecting a bold showing. MISS FORTE (2) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fourth last time out over 1200m at this circuit. Expected to be in this for a long way. TSURUMARU GEKKO (3) was quickly into stride and went on to score by 1.3 lengths when resuming last time out over 1200m at this course. Will be up on the speed from the low draw and is sure to give this a mighty shake. JUST HAMMER (7) returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a tenth over 1400m at this venue. Has ability so don't underestimate while fresh.
