GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track: GOOD      

Genuine pace with Ric Main taking up the running ahead of Al Destino and Satono Beryl. AL DESTINO (13) is a four-start maiden who was close to a win before a ten weeks break, finishing off with a minor placing at Kyoto. Tackling a longer journey this time. Looks the one to beat. STRAIGHT BLACK (3) is yet to break through but has been in the money three times including last start when second over 2000m at this track. Goes well at this journey with three minor placings to her credit. Among the top chances. SANT'ANDREA (9) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 2000m at Kyoto. Strong winning chance on best figures. RIC MAIN (14) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 6 lengths, after being prominent at the bend at her latest appearance over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
