GOING: G

Maiden Race 2880m

Track: STANDARD      

DANON JACKAL (8) did well to finish second two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then ran a nice race last time found one better in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura 49 days ago, 5 lengths behind the winner. Ideally placed to take this out. INDIGO BLACK (5) returns from a 98-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo, beaten 3 lengths. Sure to be improved on just the one try over the jumps. Anticipating a bright return. MEDIEVAL (7) is going over the jumps for the first time. Finished 1.2 lengths away fifth at the latest appearance on the flat over 1000m at Niigata. Anticipating a bright start to the new phase of his career. NESSUN DORMA (3) filled a minor prize two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Couldn't match that effort last time out, beaten 8 lengths into fourth in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Chukyo. Cannot be dismissed.
