GOING: G

SHIGIKU SHO 2000m

Track:      

In a small field either Lord Love All or Blue Sky Blue will find the front. Looks a race in three, all last start winners on debut. LORD LOVE ALL (1) impressed when successful over 1800m at Kokura three-and-a-half months ago and has not appeared since. Gapped his rivals that day and can measure up again. BLUE SKY BLUE (4) wasted no time getting off the mark over 2000m at Hanshin four weeks ago, taking control before the corner then digging deep. Promising and can measure up again. SATONO IVORY (7) pushed forward and was a determined winner by half a length over 2000m at Chukyo six weeks ago. Capable of progressing enough to test the top pick. YUMESHIRUBE (2) registered her first win last start over 1800m at Nakayama, getting home by a neck. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.

Racing well recently. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Nakayama September 15 over 1800m defeating Cosmo Classic with 55.0kg at $3.40. Before that 2nd of 13 at Niigata on August 16 over 1800m, 1.3 len behind Gene King with 55.0kg at $49.20. Broke maiden status last time and is worthy of consideration.
