Maiden Race 1700m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo expected primarily from Reflex and Graines De Joie. GRAINES DE JOIE (12) was prominent from the outset on debut last time out, holding on well for third over 1800m at Sapporo. Has a wide gate to overcome but he should be in the finish again. MIYA ESCAPE (13) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1700m at this track in a tougher race. Jumps from a wide draw but she is worth following up. UNISON (11) turned in a much better run at his second appearance last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at Fukushima. Fitter and worth including. TIBURON (9) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1800m at Hakodate. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Solid claims on best form.
