Maiden Race 1300m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Anticipate Genten, Raise Legacy and Vis Cres to set a strong tempo. VIS CRES (12) did little and finished 11 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1300m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at Nakayama Dirt the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects in a race that lacks quality. GENTEN (11) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent appearance over 1400m at Chukyo. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. COCO LASSI (8) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on April 25. Worth including in this winnable contest. AVALANCHE (10) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1300m at this track, beaten a neck. Going better than most of these so expect a forward showing.
