GOING:

TVK SHO 2000m

Track: GOOD      

Oken Bolt and Geocentric possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. GEOCENTRIC (5) is a talented type who returned from a break last start and made it two wins from as many starts, scoring by 3 lengths over 2000m at Niigata. Untapped talent who can measure up again. ASK COME ON MORE (6) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Urban Chic in the G2 Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial) at Nakayama over 2200m, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Big drop in class and is among the leading chances. Grade 3 placegetter SHIVERS (1) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1600m at Chukyo. One of the main contenders. OKEN BOLT (4) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2400m at this track. Definite top-three chance.
