Maiden Race 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Drum Major and Chuwa Melody to set a strong tempo, joined by Meteoroid pushing on. CHUWA MELODY (4) has been freshened up since a narrow defeat last time over 1400m at Kyoto. Long overdue. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again. MOZU V (13) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1200m at Fukushima. Race sets up well for him. DRUM MAJOR (6) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 12th over 1200m at Kyoto. One of the leading chances. TIGER ROAD (5) finished 5 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 1400m at Kyoto on May 2. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Don't underestimate.
