GOING:

NAGAKUTE TOKUBETSU 2000m

Track:      

Early Harvest should be able to comfortably find the front. EARLY HARVEST (5) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when she scored by 3 lengths over 2000m at Hanshin That was first try this longer trip. Open to plenty of improvement and looms as the one to beat again. PERFUME SCENT (6) last appeared when fourth over 2000m at Kyoto 11 weeks ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. STELLA CROWN (2) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 2000m at Hanshin. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. HO O TITAN (1) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over this journey at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
