GOING:

Race 9 1600m

Track:      

Grab The Top and Cosmo Basileus to take up the running at a strong tempo. ROSEN WOLF (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Expect another big run. COSMO BASILEUS (12) ran well below his best last time over 1600m at this track, finishing fifth at $3. Masashige Honda who has three wins when partnering stays on and best form puts him right in this. MIYUKI KOKUSHIMUSO (2) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1600m at this track. Tsubasa Sasagawa has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to be competitive. COSMO BRIER (1) improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten just a nose. Suitably placed so he can be prominent again.
