GOING: G

Maiden Race 2750m

Track: FIRM      

WITH YOUR DREAM (9) was unplaced two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata then produced a better result last start when he wound up in fourth, beaten 8 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Tough to stop this time. SALAPHIEL (2) returns from a 92-day spell. Kicked off the last prep in good style, finishing runner-up in a maiden steeplechase at Nakayama over 2880m. Has ability and worth including. IGNIS (11) was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 12 lengths into fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin. Fitter and looks likely to feature. SATONO TORNADO (14) has not raced since he finished 8 lengths away in sixth on the flat over 2500m at Nakayama on April 6. Tackles the jumps for the first time. Anticipating a bright start to the new phase of his career.
