GOING:

TSUBAME TOKUBETSU 2200m

Track:      

Shonan D'art, Jet Blade and Bonar Tesoro to vie for early honours at a solid tempo. REVEUSEMENT (9) is a promising type who scored at his only run last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 2400m at Tokyo. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Among the leading chances. RUTONWAJI (7) finished fourth when first-up from a spell last start over 2000m at Fukushima after racing on the pace for much of the way. Sure to be prominent from the outset. PASSION RICH (3) is back at the races for the first time since April 26. Scored over 1800m at this track to launch the last campaign. Can make his presence felt. JET BLADE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Fukushima, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Fitter so can figure in the finish.
