GOING:

Race 4 1400m

Track:      

Moderate tempo headed by Zokuzoku. ZOKUZOKU (6) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is right in contention. COPANO CURACAO (7) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Shuji Akaoka scored on him last time and retains the mount. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. JUGGERNAUT (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2.5 lengths. Among the main hopes. MISTERIO (8) is having his first run since October 16. Has never missed the top-three at the start of his campaigns, and he did win over 1400m at Kawasaki at the start of last prep. Makes plenty of appeal.
