S2-7 Sprinters Stakes

PURO MAGIC and VICTOR THE WINNER have good early speed and they can go forward and share the early lead. MAD COOL and WIN GREATEST also have pace so they can sit behind the leaders and not be far away. MUGEN will be looking for some cover from his draw. OBAMBURUMAI and DANON SCORPION should be at the rear.
