GOING: G

Race 8 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. TWO M TIGER (1) is returning from a spell of three months. Finished sixth at this track over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Tsutomu Tanaka. Will prove tough to beat. KAGURA HARUKA (3) has been in the placings at both runs this prep, most recently a closing second over 1200m at this track. Solid prospects. SHINRAI GOLD (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when sixth over 1400m at Kawasaki. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LEETSPEAK (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1400m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
