GOING:

ISAWA TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo with Cosmo Spumoni leading from Danon Mission and Nobilissima Vision. Not a lot between the top four selections. DANON MISSION (6) has been about the money at each run this prep, the latest offering a second over 1600m at Nakayama. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Looks a great chance to collect a well-deserved win. BE ON THE COVER (7) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten just 1.4 lengths, over 1800m at Nakayama. Recent ratings say he is in the thick end of the chances. REBELS RULE (4) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by a neck over 1800m at Hanshin. Will be better for that latest run and this looks well within his grasp. NOBILISSIMA VISION (9) took advantage of the good draw and landed on the pace when resuming from a spell last start before battling on for fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 2000m at Nakayama. Can feature in the finish.
