GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Pace strong from Bear Go Go and Red Mare vying for the lead closely attended by Tequila Waltz. BEAR GO GO (1) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1200m after being prominent at the bend. Drawn perfectly. Hard to beat in this average race. WIDE ETOILE (7) stepped out for her debut over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt back on February 17 and finished 11th, beaten 12 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. GUILTY PLEASURE (4) is back after a break of nine weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished 12th over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Rates highly on best form and is a chance to break through. SIEGFRIED (13) is on debut. By Raven's Pass and is out of the Keizo Ito stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
