GOING: G

Maiden Race 2880m

Track: STANDARD      

TOA MORPHEUS (6) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Chukyo with today's rider Ishigami aboard. Key runner who is expected to feature again. CROWN SET (5) opened the campaign with a respectable second in a maiden steeplechase (2770m) at Fukushima then last start could only manage sixth in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata 30 days ago. Cannot be left out. BURN PASSION (1) was making his jumps debut last start when fresh from a spell. Could only manage fifth on that occasion, beaten 15 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata. Can improve and is among the chances. PINPOINT DRAW (4) resumes from a spell of three months. Started just once last preparation, when he failed to finish in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima. Genuine danger.
