|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected from Red Brighton and Cosmo Firenze. COSMO FIRENZE (2) finished second, beaten half a length, when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at this track after he was prominent at the turn. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. RED BRIGHTON (7) is a eight-start maiden who has been in the money two times, Could only manage fourth last time out over 2000m at this track. Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from three starts. Among the top chances. HO O MOTIVE (18) is a consistent performer with two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Turned in another good effort at his most recent run when second over 2000m at Kokura after he was prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PUSHPA (17) raced once in the maiden preparation when 11th at Kyoto over 1800m back on May 16. Plenty of scope for improvement.
