MIOMOTEGAWA TOKUBETSU 1800m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Keen tempo with Ho O Shelly and Comme Une Plume prominent. SMART MISTRAL (1) is an honest type who impressed last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1600m at Hanshin. Should be in the leading division from the outset and looks sure to be in the finish. COMME UNE PLUME (15) is a talented filly who has been in the money at all three starts. Is at the races for the first time since she scored over 1600m at Nakayama on January 18. Expected to cross from wide out and figure in the finish. MEANT TO BE (13) lines up for the first time since May 11. Looking to emulate her win at Tokyo when returning from a spell last prep. Sure to make her presence felt. CLOCHETTE NOEL (14) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 2400m at Tokyo last time out. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
