GOING: G

Maiden Race 1600m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo with Ho O Shelly to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. DAWN CHORUS (15) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1600m at Nakayama. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HO O SHELLY (9) wasn't far away in two runs during her maiden prep, the latest a second over 1600m at this track three months ago. Sure to have come on over the break and is a leading contender. EPOPEA (7) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 1.75 lengths into sixth over 1600m at Chukyo on March 9. Improver with winning claims. KITTEN HEEL (14) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has ability and is worth including.
