GOING:

Race 8 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with All's Fair and Token Sour leading the charge. MEINER SANTE (3) missed the frame last time when fifth at Kasamatsu. That followed a run of two wins on end. Cannot be put aside after one miss. RHEIN GALA (1) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. TOKEN SOUR (8) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at Monbetsu. Has switched to the Hiroyuki Matsuura yard. One to consider. SUZUNO HAMAYA (12) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 1600m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
