GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Meisho Akikaze can work over from a wide gate to lead. KITANO HOSEKI (1) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at her last two runs, the latest when third over 1700m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Best figures should see her run well. CUTHBERT TESORO (10) could only manage third as favourite last start over 1700m at this track, making it three minor placings from three starts this campaign. Likely to be in the finish again. EPIPHALAND (13) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Sapporo over 1500m. Drawn out but should be in the finish again. HELLO ANGEL (9) was beaten 4 lengths into second at this track two starts ago then finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track. Has the pace to be thereabouts early. Suited here and can sneak into the finish.
