Kokura Race 11 - Kokurajo Stakes
RECIPROCITY (1) turned in a fine effort to win by one length at today's track and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. The engagement of Yuji Tannai is noteworthy. Meets some better types this time but another big run will not surprise. GEORGE TESORO (5) turned in a solid fresh performance last start when a minor placegetter over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 1.75 lengths. Has a strong record when second-up, including three wins, and should be better for that first-up run. Ready to find best form. GOD BLUE BEE (4) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.3 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1700m at this track when coming back from a spell. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. MEISHO HOMARE (7) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1700m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
