CLOVER SHO 1500m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace genuine with Bellagio Sonic and Toa Sagittarius pressing hard closely followed by Dolce Misto and Storm Thunder. DOLCE MISTO (2) impressed when successful on debut over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. STAR OF LONDON (5) lines up on the back of a 6 length fifth over 1200m at Hakodate. Perfectly placed to score. ESCALATE (4) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 9 lengths behind A Shin Deed over 1200m in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes. Finds the right race to make her mark. WILL RAUSU (9) finished second last start over 1700m at Monbetsu, beaten 2 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
