GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Hoka Mite Dame is expected to burn across and lead from the wide draw. CRIOLLO GOLD (3) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Set to return in style. JORVIK (4) is a two-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Tokyo Dirt at the last run before spelling. Good chance to open this campaign on a winning note. ECORO BARON (1) is a consistent performer with two minor placings from three starts this prep. 4.5 lengths from the winner in third last time out over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways. COCO LASSI (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1500m at Kawasaki. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
