TSURUMAI TOKUBETSU 2200m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Anticipate Sweet Orange, Margot Solare and Fort Portal to set a strong tempo. LORD GALLERIA (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Hanshin, finishing third and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 2400m. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. DANON JAGUAR (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2400m at Hanshin, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. NEW CREDO (8) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 29, finishing seventh and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1800m at Kyoto. In the mix. SWEET ORANGE (4) is back at the races for the first time since November 8. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 2200m at Niigata. Must be respected.
