Maiden Race 1800m Track: GOOD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A solid tempo expected with Taisei Sabre pressing from an outside draw, joined in the lead by T M Star Run. MY COLOR (1) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. T M STAR RUN (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1800m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. TAISEI SABRE (13) made progress last start to finish third over 1800m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. KING GENESIS (9) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Hanshin. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
