GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Fate Line to take charge ahead of Boudoir Doll at a solid tempo. FATE LINE (8) has been in the money at both runs this time in work. A maiden win looks imminent following a good second over 1800m at Kyoto last time. The one to beat. MIKUNI INSPIRE (3) was close to a maiden win before a nine-week break, finishing third over 2200m at Nakayama at the only run of that campaign. Jumps from a nice gate. Good chance to open this prep on a winning note. MEINER ARES (11) remains a maiden after nine runs. Met with plenty of support last time but after being in the firing line on the bend could only manage to finish fifth over 1800m at Fukushima. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. BOUDOIR DOLL (14) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Nakayama over 1600m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
