GOING: G

Maiden Race 2400m

Track: STANDARD      

Danon Wilhelm, Meisho Gaifu and Tre Ponti to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. PERFUME SCENT (9) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1800m at this track when returning from a spell. Will be tough to stop again. JUSTIN RISE (6) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten one length, over 2400m at Niigata when resuming after a spell. Leading player. DANON WILHELM (11) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 2400m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run and should be involved in the finish. SHONAN DADAN (13) put the writing on the wall last time when fourth at this circuit over 2200m, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
