GOING: G

OGORI TOKUBETSU 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Koseki, Lee Sam Guinea and Bel Be Stallone to match motors but there will be other pressure. ARLINGTON ROW (4) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 22 March, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths over 1400m in the G3 Falcon Stakes at Chukyo. Expecting a bold showing in this company. BEL BE STALLONE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Hanshin, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness she is one of the key runners. KOSEKI (5) broke through for his maiden win over 1200m at Hanshin last time. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Cannot be discounted. HERO IN CHIEF (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.75 lengths away in second over 1200m at Hanshin. Likely to be about the money again.
