Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Teruken Lensky and Fireman to battle for the leading role. LORD FILER (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second over 1800m at Kokura. Can open his account this time. TERUKEN LENSKY (3) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 2000m at Fukushima in a tougher race. Nicely drawn so he should pay to follow. FIREMAN (1) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1800m at Fukushima in a tougher race. Has the inside gate so he is among the leading chances. MEINER LIHIM (2) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 10 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1800m at Fukushima. Open to plenty of improvement.
