GOING: G

KIGIKU SHO 2000m

Track: FIRM     True  

A strong pace on the cards with Lord Galleria, Sunrise Gracia and Shonan Baldr likely to roll along early. MUSEUM MILE (2) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by one length over 1800m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he looks certain to measure up again. YAMANIN BOUCLIER (7) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1800m at this track three weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. LORD GALLERIA (9) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 1.75 lengths to spare over 2000m at this track. Capable of testing this field. JUN RAIDEN (4) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1800m at Listed level at this track, beaten 6 lengths when in the market. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be thereabouts.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Chukyo on August 31 over 2000m, 2 len behind Curren Wrap Star carrying 55.0kg at $4. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Chukyo September 21 over 2000m defeating Scents Blood with 55.0kg at $2.90. Strong winning hope.
