GOING:

Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Justin Le Mans should lead and control the tempo. JUSTIN LE MANS (3) raced up on the speed then gave a kick only to be beaten a whisker on debut last start over 2000m at Hanshin. Likely improver who should prove too good for this field. WITH QUEEN (4) has raced twice. Was second on debut then clocked-in 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out over 1600m at Hanshin. Can improve with this step up in distance. MY CONCERTO (8) sat on the pace on debut last time out but faded late, beaten 7 lengths into ninth over 2000m at Chukyo. Can do a lot better today with that race experience now on his side. HOLD ME ONCE (1) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when seventh at Nakayama over 1800m, beaten 8 lengths. Worth another chance over the extra 200m.
