GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Sekitei Lino should find the front with Moon Grail and Win Approach on his heels. JUNABELA (7) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1800m at this track. Going well this prep and in a modest affair is perfectly poised to go one better. CLAIRE NOA (10) was impressive when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track, beaten just 0.9 lengths after giving away a big start. Strips fitter and can feature. SEKITEI LINO (3) resumes from a spell of six months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 2000m at Nakayama. Launched last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1800m. Among the chances while fresh. WIN APPROACH (13) finished third last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Will strip fitter this time and should play a role in the finish.

Returns from a 48-day let-up. Last start 8th of 15 at this track on May 3 over 1800m, 6 len behind Omega Dickon carrying 55.0kg at $240.10. The run before that 12th of 15 at Nakayama on April 11 over 1600m, 7 len behind Civitas with 55.0kg at $306.20. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
