GOING: G

PHOENIX SHO 1200m

Track: FIRM   Fine    

Mo Mo Red, Ichino Komachi and Go To Kirishima to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. TAGANO TANTO (5) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut at this track over 1200m last start, getting home narrowly after racing on the pace. Promising type who can measure up again. UME MUSUBI (6) is coming off his maiden win last start over 1200m at this track, scoring by 1.3 lengths as hot favourite. Taiga Tsunoda retains the mount. Has found winning form and back-to-back wins is on the cards. MIKATTE YONDEII (9) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Will be winding up late again. EMI SAKIHOKORU (8) was solid on debut last start when beaten 2 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Hanshin on June 25. Open to improvement and looks a contender.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Most recently favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 30 len at Saga July 3 over 1400m defeating Nekoneko Loco Girl carrying 54kg at $1.70. The run before that favourite; won by 30 len at Saga June 18 over 1300m defeating Kashino Spice with 54kg at $1.30. Rather invest elsewhere.
