GOING:

Maiden Race 2970m

Track: STANDARD      

TAMAMO ACE (9) did fairly well when he finished second in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at this track two runs back. Held that form last time when 2.5 lengths away in second in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at this track. Major player again. THUNDER ALERT (6) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata with today's rider Sho Ueno aboard. Sure to be right there again. DESERT STAR (8) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata, finishing second when partnered by today's jockey Kayata Komaki. Hard to knock. LORD PLAISIR (10) is taking on the jumps for a second time after finishing seventh at his first attempt in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at this track two months ago, beaten 12 lengths. Likely improver worth plenty of thought.
