GOING:

SANDA TOKUBETSU 2400m

Track:      

Moderate pace with Danon Cima rolling to the lead and setting the tempo. GOLTZSCHTAL (4) is racing well and looks to have a stranglehold on this. Scored at this track two back then finished third, beaten a long neck, over 2400m in the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial) at the latest appearance seven weeks ago. Class runner by far. DANON CIMA (6) is yet to miss the placings in four starts, including two wins. Last appeared when he was successful over 2400m at this track on April 5. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Obvious threat. FAMILY TIME (5) finished 3.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 2000m at Niigata when fresh from a spell as $4 favourite. Steps up in journey today. Best of the others. MUGELLO (3) finished sixth over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt at his most recent appearance on March 23. One for the exotics.
