Maiden Race 1800m Track: Good |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good early pressure with Margot Gaia or Finisterre likely to take up the running. GINKEI (4) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1800m at this track. Should be near her peak for this. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MARGOT GAIA (11) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was prominent at the turn before being beaten 5 lengths into tenth over 2000m at Chukyo. Fitter so expect a better run this time. FINISTERRE (8) faced the starter for the first time and finished eighth last start at Hanshin over 1800m, beaten 7 lengths. Worth following up. STORY OF LOVE (1) is a three-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at this track over 1800m last time out after being prominent at the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects.
