GOING:

Race 3 1200m

Track:      

Not much early pressure but Koko Kohaku, Alma Rosario and Lightning Jab can take up forward spots. KOKO KOHAKU (2) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1200m at this track last time. Yet to break through here at this distance but has never missed the placings in three starts. Ryoga Fujita sticks. Will strip fitter so expect her to feature. WILL SKY (7) pushed forward from a wide draw when resuming last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish third over 1000m at this track. Likely improver with bright prospects. MR KIC (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter and can play a major role. LIGHTNING JAB (1) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten 4.5 lengths, over today's trip at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating.
