GOING: G

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

From the wide draw Star Admiral can cross and set up a solid tempo. DANON ALM (3) changes rider since being well held last time in ninth over 1600m at Chukyo on March 9. Coming back in distance looks like a good move. Key runner on her best efforts. GLOBE AMARANTH (1) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Peak rating in the maiden prep was on debut over this course and distance. Set for a bold return. FORTE ROSA (10) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Hanshin over 1400m. Rates highly on that effort and should be right in this. YABUSAME (7) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Kokura, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again.
