Maiden Race 1800m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pace likely from Pegasus Wind, G T Bikini and Koitamachan battling for the lead from A Gray Beauty. A race of few hopes. G T BIKINI (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on February 1, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Form before that was rock solid. Finds a lovely race to launch this campaign. A GRAY BEAUTY (6) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1800m at this track when fresh from a spell. Fitter for that run and is among the leading chances. KOITAMACHAN (9) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run another bold race. PEGASUS WIND (12) fought on for third last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths to add to a fine start to her career. Should play a pivotal role.
