GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with Satono Bidaaya leading from Himehiogi and Acting Area. T O AL AIN (6) was close to a maiden win before a nine weeks break, finishing off with a placing over 1800m at Kyoto. Jockey Kohei Matsuyama back aboard. Well placed to get off the mark and rates as the one to beat. SABLE DIAMANT (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 6 lengths. Posted good figures the two starts prior. Strips fitter and can feature. BRIGHT AIRY (9) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished ninth at her last appearance over 1800m at Tokyo on November 23 after she gave away a big start. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. LAPTOP (7) finished 11th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
