GOING:

INAGI TOKUBETSU 2400m

Track: FIRM      

Satono Patriot to roll forward and dictate terms. RED BANDE (7) was a winner two back at Nakayama then was super competitive last time when fourth over 2400m in the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial) at this track, beaten only 0.7 lengths. Wins this with a repeat of that effort. COACHELLA VALLEY (11) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 5.5 lengths away in seventh last time out at Grade Two level over 2200m at Kyoto four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Leading contender in this company. NIFLHEIMR (6) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2000m at Nakayama. Looks a strong top-three prospect. SUNSET VIEW (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only a nose from the winner at the end of 2400m. Expect a bold display.
