Maiden Race 1400m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pace strong with Eiyu Sakura and Tagano Sylphy leading with Shadow Ruler nearby. PRINCESS ATSUKO (8) recorded a fourth minor placing from as many starts last time out, finishing 4 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Racing well and is ready to break through. ROUGE BALLON (5) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fifth over 1400m at Chukyo. Lightly raced filly with great scope for improvement. TAGANO SYLPHY (14) resumes from a spell of three months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Should come back bigger and better this prep and is a chance to break through. SHADOW RULER (12) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing fifth last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt two months ago. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Solid claims on best form.
