Tokyo   27 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Reasonable tempo with Chondrite probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. CHONDRITE (15) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 13th over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at this track over 2000m. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. RETOUR (12) stepped out for her debut over 1600m at Kyoto back on February 11 and finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths. Will have a lot more to offer this time. SPIN THE BLOOD (1) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 2000m at Nakayama. Plenty of scope for improvement. Top-three chance. I SAW THE LIGHT (10) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4 lengths from the winner in seventh at Nakayama over 1600m. Don't underestimate.
