GOING:

SHINOBUYAMA TOKUBETSU 2600m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of pace with Miyabi Brave and Maruka Blitz leading from Win My Route. ECORO RAISE (2) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 2000m at Niigata, finishing 4.5 lengths back in seventh. Akira Sugawara gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SATONO SKY TURF (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.75 lengths away in third after he was well back on straightening over 2400m at Tokyo. Likely improver with strong prospects. TROPICAL LIGHT (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 22 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when ninth over 2400m at Tokyo, beaten 6 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. WIN MY ROUTE (12) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on April 20 when fourth, beaten 0.8 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the better hopes.

Second run back. Comes off a 41-day let-up. First-up after three months 9th of 16 at Tokyo on June 1 over 2400m, 6 len behind Dual Wielder with 56.0kg at $40.60. Previously second-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 13 at Kokura on February 22 over 2600m, 2 len behind Volante with 56.0kg at $4.70. Worth another chance.
