Maiden Race 1800m Track: FIRM |

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

Abundant pace from Black Coral, Sunrise Matthew and Savoire Faire vying for the lead with Lord Stellato on their backs. SAVOIRE FAIRE (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt when second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he should be in the finish again. BLACK CORAL (10) has registered three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Was in the firing line all the way and finished 6 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Looks well placed so expect another big run. VIENTO DE COLA (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten a nose. Fitter and a great chance to go one better. LORD STELLATO (8) was sent out favourite but could only finish fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last time. Prior to that had been racing well, collecting two minor placings on end. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. In the mix.
