GOING: G

JIMBA TOKUBETSU 2400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with a few of these capable of running them along. HO O ATMAN (1) was well held in the Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) won by Croix Du Nord over 2400m at this track at his last appearance four-and-a-half months ago. Big winner over this course and distance prior to that. Will give a great sight. MINT MARK (2) finished well but wound up a distant second last time over 2500m at Nakayama when resuming from a spell. Nicely placed to go one better. A O KING (9) tackled the Asahi Hai St Lite Kinen (Japanese St Leger Trial) over 2200m at Nakayama last time and was beaten 7 lengths into tenth by Museum Mile. Useful colt who can play a big role in this inferior company. GO JOHNNY GO (5) is back from a 258-day spell. Has won twice when fresh from four attempts so he must be respected.
