GOING:

Maiden Race 3000m

Track:      

FEENGROTTEN (13) finished second two back in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata then again ran a good race to finish second last time out, beaten 2 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. All set to continue the strong recent form. HEAVENLY HAND (4) safely held two back but turned form around last time with a second in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Can figure in the finish. RED FARO (12) missed the frame two runs ago in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Did a better job last time when he filled a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Likely to run well again. NERO CORVINO (2) last raced when he was beaten 25 lengths into tenth over 2400m on the flat at Hanshin five weeks ago. Takes on the jumps for the first time. Ideally placed to perform well.
