GOING:

SHUGAKUIN STAKES 2000m

Track: FIRM      

Genuine tempo early with Bar Du Vin, Shomon and Loin D'ici to vie for the lead. LUCIFER (10) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 2200m at Chukyo at her last appearance on September 7, the only run of that campaign. Genuine filly who should be in the finish. SHAKE YOUR HEART (4) finished off last campaign in strong form including a near miss over 2200m at Chukyo at the last run before a nine-week break. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. MR G T (13) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 12th, beaten 19 lengths, over 3000m in the G1 Kikuka Sho (Japanese St Leger) at this track. Cherry-ripe now and is sure to be about the mark in this far easier contest. SHOMON (2) has enjoyed a let-up of six weeks since he won when resuming over 2000m at Chukyo, scoring by a nose. Has a solid second-up record and is among the better chances.
