GOING:

GAGYUZAN TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track:      

Hamilton and Nettaiya Rai to take up the running at a strong tempo. COME UP ROSES (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 2000m at this track after he settled well back. Should be peaking now and is expected to feature in the finish. GO GO TAKASHI (3) did a good job last start to finish second at Tokyo over 1800m, beaten half a length. Hasn't been far away this time in work with three minor placings from six starts. Best form puts him right in this. DOGWOOD (4) finished second last time over 1800m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. NETTAIYA RAI (5) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in seventh at this course and distance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Don't underestimate.

Racing well recently. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 11 at Tokyo on May 31 over 1800m, 0.5 len behind Ceylon Gems carrying 55.0kg at $4.70. Before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 13 at Niigata on May 9 over 1800m, 0.5 len behind Spin The Blood with 58.0kg at $8.70. Overdue. With a little improvement can take this out.
