GOING: G

MINO TOKUBETSU 2200m

Track:      

Jun Tsubamegaeshi and Musician look to bowl along in front. MUSICIAN (4) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner including last start when scoring by 0.8 lengths over 2000m at Kokura. Looks suited and expected to go close on best form. FAMILY TIME (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Hanshin over 2400m on June 14. Should be hard to stop. JUN TSUBAMEGAESHI (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to get the prize. PAO DE ACUCAR (3) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 2000m at Hanshin. One to consider.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 57-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at Kokura July 5 over 2000m defeating Key Performer carrying 55.0kg at $2.30. Before that came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Kyoto on May 17 over 2000m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind My Universe carrying 57.0kg at $6.90. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
