GOING:

Maiden Race 2100m

Track: FIRM      

Not much early speed of note and Wave Moon and Ten Ready Go may find themselves setting a steady tempo. MODERATE GALE (11) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Nakayama over 2200m, beaten 8 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through in a shallow race. I AM GIAN (6) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has upside and can open his account without surprising. ARTICULATE (12) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten a long way into fourth. Hard to beat in this ordinary race. COSMO RUM BUCK (4) finished a distant fifth at his most recent outing over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Among the better chances in this company.
