Maiden Race 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Slick tempo with Taisei Stunner to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. The top four picks look to have it between them. KUALOA RANCH (15) was close to a maiden win before an 11-week break, finishing off with a placing over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Tricky draw to overcome but is in the right race to make a bright return. ADMI (4) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1200m. Genuine filly who never puts in a poor run. Hard to beat as always. OCEAN STELLA (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong top three prospects. ECORO SERENA (12) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1200m at this track. Open to further improvement.
