GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track: FIRM      

Expecting Wonder Fellow to take up the running with Crown Arabian and Sengumbamba close at hand. DANTSU TORRENT (4) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 2000m. Ready to go one better. BIRKIN (5) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish third when resuming last start at this course and distance. Sure to be thereabouts. BABY YODA (7) is a first-starter by Duramente from Eridu Babylon who has been a prolific producer of winners. Promising type who cannot be left out of calculations. WONDER FELLOW (8) has not appeared since he finished 11th over 2000m at Fukushima on April 14. One of the main contenders.
