Maiden Race 3000m

Track: FIRM      

DEE PRAYER (5) registered a sound second 14 days back in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at this track. That result came as no surprise after a solid second in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata two starts ago. Should be there at the business end. RED FARO (10) recorded a sound third 15 days back in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at this track. That result was on the back of a solid third in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two starts ago. Likely to be thereabouts. RAZZLE DAZZLE (9) wasn't far away when resuming from a layoff last start, beaten one length into second in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Expecting further improvement. MIRACULOUS DRAMA (11) was fresh from a spell last time out and making his first appearance over the obstacles. Only managed to finish 5.5 lengths away in fourth on that occasion in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Further improved and can measure up with the right run.
