GOING: G

Maiden Race 2400m

Track: STANDARD      

They will be getting along early with Color Of The Earth and Porto Feliz leading the charge. RED LIGHTNING (6) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1800m at Nakayama. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. PORTO FELIZ (1) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth over 2000m at Nakayama. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing. TRUST BOSS (9) finished eighth at this track and distance at his last appearance nine weeks ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect. COLOR OF THE EARTH (8) finished fourth over 2600m at Fukushima when resuming last start, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Strips fitter and can improve.
