GOING: G

Maiden Race 2750m

Track: FIRM      

SAHARA (1) missed the placings in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Chukyo two back then improved to wind-up third in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata last start. Ready to find peak form. HEISEI MAJOR (8) finished seventh when fresh from a spell last start in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata with today's rider Masayuki Nakamura piloting. Can feature with the run under his belt. GRAVITE (3) finished 15th last time out over 1800m at Nakayama two months ago. Now taking on jumps racing for the first time. Sure to acquit herself well. KITANO BLADE (5) is looking to improve on a last-start 15th on the flat over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt on October 27. Sure to make his presence felt.
