GOING:

Maiden Race 1600m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with the debutants potentially serving it up to Freccia Azzurra and Danon Prelude who are expected to go forward. FRECCIA AZZURRA (12) started favourite last time over 1600m at Hanshin but found one better, making it three minor placings from four career starts. Suited in this and expected to go close. THRILLER NIGHT (1) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1600m at Hanshin. Among the leading chances. DANON PRELUDE (14) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1800m at Tokyo. Among the chances while fresh. TIGRIS (7) is a three-year-old filly on debut by Epiphaneia from Atab who has been a fine producer including a winner at G1 level. Promising type who can play a big role.
