GOING: G

NOJIMAZAKI TOKUBETSU 2000m

Track: Good      

From the inside draw Elina Storm can boot up and control the tempo in a low-pressure contest. BOW WINDOW (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Tokyo over 2000m on February 1. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and should be in the finish. LOVELY JUBBLY (8) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 1800m at Tokyo at her last appearance on October 4. Has two wins to her name when fresh from a spell. Expect a bold showing. ELINA STORM (1) gave away a start then stormed home to win over 2000m at Chukyo last time out. Kosei Miura sticks. One of the main contenders. ITOKAWA SAKURA (11) last appeared when fourth over 1800m at Tokyo ten weeks ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
