GOING:

Maiden Race 1600m

Track:      

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. BLUE THERMAL (13) was well fancied last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. EFCHARISTO (3) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth after being prominent at the corner at her most recent outing over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. IDEA CRYSTAL (12) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and is having her first outing under new trainer Takanori Tezuka. Finished seventh at Tokyo over 1600m at the opening run last time in work. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. MELLITUS (15) has not appeared since she finished seventh over 1600m at this track on February 1. Deserves serious consideration.

Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Last start didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on March 15 over 1800m, 22 len behind Star San Salud with 55.0kg at $8. The race before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 17 at Kyoto on February 14 over 1800m, 7 len behind Black Shalimar with 55.0kg at $8.10. Solid prospects and a good barrier doesn’t hurt.
