Maiden Race 1200m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo expected primarily from Holy Step and Catch Me Cry. ANGER THE GIRL (9) finished second, beaten a nose, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Hanshin. Close to a maiden win. Likely improver with bright prospects. JO BISCOTTI (5) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1400m at Kyoto. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. HOLY STEP (1) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a tenth over 1400m at Kyoto. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. CELEB TORCH (8) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 6 lengths, over 1200m at Fukushima. Sure to measure up.
