GOING:

YAMABUKI SHO 2200m

Track:      

Keen speed battle, with Crown In The Air, Yamanin Herrsche and Top Of The Line prominent. IMMORTALIS (13) opened his career with a minor placing then last appeared when he was successful over 2000m at this track on January 5. Likely to have come on over the break so he is sure to prove tough to beat. REY HISTORICO (5) broke through for his maiden win over 2400m at Tokyo last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is worth including. DOGWOOD (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2000m at Hanshin. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. BROWN BANANA (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 2400m at Tokyo. Sure to run a bold race.
