Maiden Race 1800m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Taro and Gateau. Lots of these ready to win. ISLAND (13) has been in the placings three times from three starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 1800m at this track when 5 lengths from the winner. Not far off a win and will be tough to beat. TARO (12) ran on strongly only to just miss last start over 1800m at this track. Going well and has bright prospects. GATEAU (8) resumes from a spell of four months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Worth including. GOLDEN DRAGON (11) finished third last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
