Maiden Race 2770m Track: STANDARD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
MEISHO KYOJI (9) finished second in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two runs back. Held that form last time when 4 lengths away in third in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Always popular in betting and is sure to prove hard to beat. KITANO BLADE (2) was unplaced two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Filled a minor prize last time in a much better performance in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at the same track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Right in the mix if he is at his best. SAMMARU GREAT (1) has been in the placings three times in a row, finishing second most recently in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Had plenty of chances but looks well placed here and rates among the main hopes. GAIFU KAISEI (4) resumes. Ran some nice races last prep and can figure in the finish without surprising.
