Maiden Race 1400m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Plenty of pressure with Naomini All In, Mighty Kingdom and Aqua Eye leading the charge. LA LA DIABLE (2) knuckled down strongly to get within a neck of the winner in second last start over 1400m at Hanshin when lining up for only the second time. Will be tough to stop again. MIGHTY KINGDOM (6) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Chukyo over 1400m. Has a high cruising speed. Expecting another bold showing. SALTA LA LINDA (16) was solid on debut last start, winding up nicely at the end of 1200m to finish third at Hanshin. Beter for that run and can play a major role. NAOMINI ALL IN (13) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Ran second over 1400m at this track on debut before failing at the only other run. Solid top three hope.
