GOING:

OIKE TOKUBETSU 1200m

Track:      

Cracking tempo with Bourbon Queen and Sadiq leading the way. TAGANO ENFANT (14) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at Hanshin. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. SADIQ (8) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths over today's journey at Fukushima. Has a sound record at this journey with a win and two minor placings. Rates highly and can measure up. AOI REGINA (9) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 3 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1200m at Nakayama. Reunites with K Ikezoe which is a proven winning combination. One of the main contenders. TAIKI VAINQUEUR (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Hanshin, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
