Maiden Race 1800m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Champagne Star, Meisho Megohime and Unnatamsa to control the tempo. ROUGE EPIC (7) was in commission last time out and finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at this track. Rock-hard fit and overdue for a win. Gets chance. PROOFREADING (6) is a five-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent outing over 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. GLORIOUS (2) improved last start to finish second over 1800m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. UNNATAMSA (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
