GOING: G

MIURA TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Strong early tempo with Balance Dancer and Neuse Tesoro leading the way over Parcel Paper. CANICULE (5) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 2000m in the G2 Sankei Sports Sho Flora Stakes (Japanese Oaks Trial) at this track. Significant class drop this time. Looks a class above these. FORLANINI (7) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing third over 2000m at Nakayama on January 8. Won on debut in September so he can come to hand quickly. Likely to feature. DIAMOND HANDS (4) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 1.75 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. NEUSE TESORO (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1800m at this track, beaten a head. Should be peaking now.
