GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from H N Harmony leading Hisaeno Omokage. TRAIN THE MIND (9) finished third last start when fresh from a spell over 1800m at this track to make it two minor placings from four runs. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Ideally placed to open his account. NATURE'S LAW (11) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track over 1800m, beaten 2.25 lengths. Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. HISAENO OMOKAGE (10) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LE GRAND CHARIOT (3) is yet to break through after four starts. Placed two back then last time out was fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Can feature with the right run.
