GOING:

OKUSHIRI TOKUBETSU 2000m

Track:      

Smoky God should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. SMOKY GOD (12) last raced 12 weeks ago when he finished seventh over 2000m at Nakayama. Bolted in on debut over that same course and distance at his only other run. Likely to be in the finish. MALIBU ORANGE (8) fought on well to finish third last start over 1600m at Hanshin, beaten one length, when resuming from an eleven-week spell. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough. MEINER MOMENTUM (1) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and has been in the placings at both appearances, the latest when second over 1800m at Niigata. Worth including. A SHIN GEMMA (10) resumed four weeks ago over 1800m at Kyoto and was only beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
