GOING: G

HYOKO TOKUBETSU 2200m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Bonar Tesoro, Jet Blade and Satono Patriot. TRIPLE CORK (2) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing second over 2000m at Tokyo on June 15 which was the only run of that prep. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Rates highly and expected to go well. SATONO PATRIOT (5) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 2400m at Tokyo 12 weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. CAPITAL RICH (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 2000m at this track, beaten a neck. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise. BONAR TESORO (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 2200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
