SOMOKUKKI (1) is a well-related two-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By American Patriot from K T Laurel who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Should get all the favours from this good gate and looks the one they have to beat. SUPER ICY (2) is on debut for the Sakai Shinobu stable. Two-year-old filly by Rey De Oro from Lien Fille. One to keep close tabs on, particularly if popular with punters. KICHO (8) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Juichi Tajima. By Al Ain from Putorana. Bold showing expected. MY BOND (5) is a nicely bred two-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Tanino Frankel from Yumeno Tokimeki who has produced plenty of winners. Promising type who is one to keep a close eye on in betting.
