GOING: G

Open Class Race 3200m

Track:      

MIYAJI CHARMANT (7) has returned in great style this preparation. Filled a minor placing when resuming in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then won last start by 3.5 lengths in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at the same track. Looks very hard to beat in this sort of form. TEN MAJOR GIRL (2) missed the frame two back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. Turned things around last time to win by 2.5 lengths in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. In the mix again. ENDYMION (11) finished 12th the start before last in a G3 steeplechase (3390m) at Kokura then again missed the top three most recently but was only beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Deserves another chance. ETERNALLY (10) resumes from a spell of four months. Raced just the once last preparation, finishing seventh in a steeplechase (3170m) at Kyoto. Worth plenty of thought.
