GOING: G

MACHIDA TOKUBETSU 2400m

Track: FIRM      

Oken Bolt should lead and control the tempo. REDENTOR (5) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 4 lengths behind Sugar Kun over 2400m in the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial) at this track. Jockey switch to C P Lemaire who has two wins from three rides. Sure to run well. REALEST (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 2300m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five outings. Top chance again. TROPICAL LIGHT (2) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Looking to emulate her win at Kokura at the beginning of last prep. Definite top-three chance. OKEN BOLT (7) wasn't disgraced at the latest effort when fourth over 2400m at this circuit. Suitably placed so anticipating a bold performance.
