HOKUTO TOKUBETSU 2000m Track: STANDARD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strong tempo, primarily from Aoi Takeru and Baltica. AOI TAKERU (5) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2.5 length win at this track over 2000m. Big chance to repeat the dose. ALMA DE ORO (8) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths over this trip. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. WIN DAISY (4) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 2000m at this track, beaten only one length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MEINER ZEUS (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 2000m. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
