GOING: G

NAYABASHI TOKUBETSU 1600m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Olibanum leading the way. T M I RUN (4) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Scored a tidy win at her only run last preparation at Kyoto over 1600m. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. OLIBANUM (11) finished second over 1600m at Tokyo at her most recent appearance on May 17. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Should be hard to stop. VIP DYLAN (8) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at Kyoto. Good fresh performer who makes plenty of appeal. SHONAN BALDR (3) failed to live up to expectations over 1600m at Hanshin last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
