SUITA TOKUBETSU 1400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting Ludique to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. LUDIQUE (12) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat if he brings his best form. PHILIP (10) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Tokyo Dirt two starts back then got the job done by 2 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. BACK TO THE LIGHT (5) last appeared on December 22 when a good fourth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2.25 lengths. Races well at this circuit and has to be respected. CUTTING GEM (4) returned from a spell six-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into 11th over 1500m at Kawasaki. Fitter and sure to run well.
