Maiden Race 1800m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo set by Zenno Sovereign and Scorpion Imeru. SCORPION IMERU (8) was well fancied last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt when second, beaten 4 lengths. Racing well and a maiden win looks imminent. HERCULES TOWER (2) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Heading the right way and anticipating another big run. BLESSED NILE (1) faded late last time over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt after showing good early speed, eventually finishing sixth. Will push forward and is among the chances. ZENNO SOVEREIGN (13) has not raced since his debut on October 6 over 1800m at this track when he finished fifth, beaten 12 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.
