Maiden Race 1200m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with Great Son, Yamanin Feier and Real Alba going hard, closely attended by Mellifluous. WATER SAGRADA (14) started favourite on debut and found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1400m at Chukyo. Coming back in trip is the query but she is clearly talented and will be hard to hold out. MELLIFLUOUS (10) faced the starter for the first time and was well supported but could only manage fourth last start at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m, beaten 5 lengths. Expected to improve and will pay to follow up. RED LEVENDIS (15) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Hanshin Dirt over 1200m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. REAL ALBA (2) finished second last time out over 1200m at this track, making it two career minor placings. Goes well here and must be respected.
