GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Strong early tempo with Mirai Harmony driving across from the outside gate, while Harbor View and Makutte Sophia boot up underneath. MIRAI HARMONY (12) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1200m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Has been in the money 2/2 starts. Nicely placed to go one better. PROTO ASTER (10) showed ability at her only start back on August 27 when third over 1200m at Kokura. Likely improver and is a leading contender. MEISHO MIGLIORE (4) raced once in the maiden preparation when seventh at Kyoto over 1600m back on February 4. Top-three chance with that run under her belt. POTOMAC TESORO (1) has not been sighted since she finished tenth over 1400m at Tokyo on February 10. Best figures have her right in the mix.
