GOING:

NAGARAGAWA TOKUBETSU 2200m

Track: FIRM      

Perfume Scent is the likely leader and should be able to get there comfortably. SUZUKA MIERE (3) drifted back then made late ground to finish fourth when first up from a spell last start over 2000m at this track. Big chance. RABUKA (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 2600m at Kokura. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. PERFUME SCENT (1) finished third over 2000m at this track at her latest run on August 18 2024. Has started five times and while remains a maiden has placed at all five. Long overdue and gets chances fresh. DANON CASERTA (4) returns from a spell of four months and did win first-up last time in work over 2400m at Hanshin. Capable of playing a major role.
