GOING:

Maiden Race 2860m

Track:      

DANON JACKAL (12) returns from a 169-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track, beaten a neck. Well-placed here and sure to be tough to beat. GAIN SUPPORT (11) opened the campaign with a respectable third in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto then last start could only manage seventh in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo 43 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. VOLL GEIL (4) missed the frame two runs ago in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Turned things around last time when he filled a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track. The recent form should stack up. RAZZLE DAZZLE (7) is resuming from a lengthy break. Started just once last campaign, finishing sixth in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track. Expect him to be prominent.
