GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track: STANDARD      

Pain De Genes, Lady Maxima and Arc Real will push to ahead and set a solid tempo. PAIN DE GENES (8) resumed over 1800m last time out and turned in a solid effort to finish third at Fukushima when she was always up in the leading division. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Worth following up. SONIC DRIVE (14) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 1.2 lengths over 2000m at Kokura. Well placed and a great chance to break through. LYRA GREEN (15) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 2000m at this track. Expect another big run. LADY MAXIMA (3) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at her most recent outing over 2000m at Hakodate. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
