Verdict

CHOCO LATTE (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a seven-month break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Jockey Norifumi Mikamoto back aboard. Looks all set to kick the campaign off the right way. RIKO TYPHON (9) led throughout last start to score an effortless 7-length win over 5f at Monbetsu. One of the top chances again. SARASA CHARMING (11) went forward from the low draw when first-up from a spell last time before fading to finish 13th over 1 ?m at Kyoto. Among the chances in this suitable race. LA LA VITESSE (10) finished third last start over 7f at this track. Should take a lot from that hit-out and expect another bold run.
