GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Selvans has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SELVANS (4) will find this a little easier than his second on debut four weeks ago, beaten a neck at the end of 1200m at Kokura. Will benefit from that experience so he should be in the finish again. LUCIANA (1) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1200m at Fukushima in a tougher race. Worth following up. ONIMARU (8) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths over 1200m at Kokura. Has ability and is among the chances. FENICE D'ORO (3) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at Kokura. Likely improver worth including.
