Maiden Race 1200m Track: |

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

Sizzling pace from Ange Reine, Schwarz Schild and Velocista locking horns ahead of Feel My Plan and Yorinkeiju. Looks a race in two. SCHWARZ SCHILD (14) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of ten weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Anticipating a positive return to racing. NAMURA RODIN (12) is going well without winning. Last start finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Yet to break through at this trip but has registered two minor placings. Looks the obvious threat. PYOITTO HARERUYA (13) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a third last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt after being prominent at the turn. Can figure in the finish. ANGE REINE (15) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished ninth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Should be thereabouts.
