GOING: G

Race 9 800m

Track: GOOD      

Derma Carmilla to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. NISHINO SIEG (6) finished eighth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt at his most recent appearance on November 15. Now under the care of new trainer Toshio Tomita. Has ability and should be right in the finish as he drops back in grade. GALLOS (2) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 900m at Kawasaki, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner. Likely to feature. PHACELIA (5) progressed nicely last time out when he did his best work late to finish just a long neck from the winner in third over 900m at Kawasaki. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. NISHINO NEW LEAF (8) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 11th at this track over 800m. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
