GOING:

Race 6 1300m

Track:      

Tokai Kleos and Surprise One One to take up the running at a strong tempo. TOKAI KLEOS (3) returns from a break of 12 weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. COSMO BULLET (10) returns from a spell of 20 months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 12th at Sonoda over 1870m when first-up last time in work. Likely to play a major role. MASA WOOD TAIL (7) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1300m at this track only to fade late and finish fifth. Will push forward and is among the chances. SURPRISE ONE ONE (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1300m after racing in the leading division. In the right race and should be in the mix.
