GOING:

Maiden Race 1300m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo set by Fulgurite and Shonan Rally. HARMONY SONG (5) is a five-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Should settle handy in the run. Looks a bit better than these. SHONAN RALLY (6) made progress last start to finish second over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SILFLAY (2) finished fourth, beaten 7 lengths, when tackling a dirt track for the first time last start at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m. Will take a lot from that last run and is a top three chance. FULGURITE (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Strips fitter and can play a big role.
