GOING:

TVK SHO 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo expected primarily from Ho O Shelly and Meikei Burton. CULAVAMSA (5) is a promising galloper who saluted at her only run last prep four months ago over 1400m at Hanshin. This toughest test but has upside and drawn well. Expect a bold showing. POWER SNATCH (12) returned from a break last start with a modest fifth over 1400m at Niigata, beaten 2.5 lengths. Has a terrific record here with two wins and one minor placings from three starts. Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. SUCCESS CALLA (7) made a strong late bid only to just miss when first-up last start over 1400m at Niigata. Should tighten right up following that outing. In the right race and is a winning hope. FOOD MAN (13) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 2.5 lengths away in eighth over 1400m in Listed grade at Kyoto on May 11 which was the only run of that prep. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the better hopes.
