ASHINOKO TOKUBETSU 1600m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong pace with Ho O Shelly, Gutenberg and Cosmo Spumoni pushing forward, closely attended by Straight Talker and Ask Sexy More. GUTENBERG (9) is an exciting galloper unbeaten after two starts. Last raced when successful by a neck over 1600m at this track four months ago. Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. ASK SEXY MORE (6) is a distance specialist who is coming along nicely this prep. Finished sixth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Group 3 level at Hanshin then improved and scored over 1600m at this track seven weeks ago, getting home by a neck. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. STRAIGHT TALKER (2) resumes after a break of nine weeks. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1600m at Nakayama to kick off last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. OCEAN TRIBE (10) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
