GOING: G

NAGARAGAWA TOKUBETSU 2200m

Track: MUDDY      

Solid tempo with Hortus Palatium leading from Ho O Seimei and Rusk. HORTUS PALATIUM (9) resumed last time out and finished third over 2200m at Niigata, beaten 2.5 lengths, after being in contention from the outset. Lightly raced colt who looks the testing material. ADMIRAL SHIP (8) finished fourth last time out over 2000m at Sapporo, beaten 3.5 lengths, at the second run of the campaign. Expecting another bold showing. SHONAN HOWL (5) finished seventh over 2600m at Kokura at his most recent appearance on June 29. Useful stayer who makes plenty of appeal. HO O SEIMEI (7) finished third last time over 2000m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge.
