GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Royal Will is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. ROYAL WILL (15) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1200m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Has her share of ability and looks the testing material. PEARL PENDANT (10) is still a maiden after four starts but was in the frame at Kyoto when resuming before finishing fourth at Hanshin last start. Has a chance to break through. DANON PRIMA (2) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 1600m at Hanshin, beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. BRIAR HILL (16) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1200m at Hanshin, beaten a neck. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another strong performance.
