GOING: G

Maiden Race 1600m

Track:      

Solid pace from Billionaire Boy pushing forward, along with Weissklee from the wide draw. DANON PRIMA (18) has not raced since her debut back on March 15 when she finished fifth over 1600m at Chukyo. Much better for that run and can get off the mark this time. WEISSKLEE (15) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish eighth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when returning after a spell last start over 2000m at Fukushima. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. DUBAI MISSION (13) did little and finished 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his first-up fourth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BILLIONAIRE BOY (1) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Should be peaking. Likely improver with solid claims.
