KOKURA   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: MUDDY      

Erika Elegante and Star Admiral possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. SCHWERTLILIE (11) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1800m at Kyoto when fresh from a spell. Back in great order and can go on with it. ELIZABETH BAROWS (2) last raced when fourth on debut over the mile at Kyoto ten weeks ago. Likely improver with definite claims. DANON MONT BLANC (3) stepped out for his debut over 1600m at Hanshin back on March 9 and finished ninth, beaten 7 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt. SADAME (7) resumes from a spell of seven months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1600m at Chukyo. Has ability and is worth including.
