THE HOKKAIDO SHIMBUN HAI QUEEN STAKES 1800m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo likely from Conch Shell and Beyond The Valley. ARGINE (10) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at Hanshin. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on five occasions from seven runs. Should be hard to stop. LESEDRAMA (7) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on May 25 and finished 16th behind Kamunyak over 2400m in the G1 Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks) at Tokyo. Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. VEREHRUNG (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep in the G3 Fukushima Himba Stakes over 1800m on April 20. Reunites with Yuji Tannai who has four wins from nine rides. Has winning claims on best figures. COCONUTS BROWN (4) scored a dominant victory at Kyoto over 1600m at her latest appearance on 18/05/2025, the only time she faced the starter in that campaign. Good record at this journey with three wins and three minor placings from seven starts and cannot be underestimated.
