Maiden Race 3000m

Track: FIRM      

BEAT THE RECORD (2) failed in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama two starts back. Made amends last time when he found one better, beaten a neck, in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at this track. Hard to beat with the confidence restored. SOL DORADO (6) was unplaced two back in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima. Bounced back last time to grab second, beaten 5 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Hard to beat on his best form. LE REVE DE LILY (9) returns from a 77-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama, beaten 3.5 lengths. Must be considered. EARTH BRAVE (12) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Improved and filled a minor prize last start, beaten 5.5 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Worth including.
