GOING: G

Maiden Race 1600m

Track:      

The presence of a few first starters will keep Hatsukoi Cider honest. VIP DYLAN (9) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1600m at Chukyo after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the race experience advantage over most of these so expect a forward showing. MEISHO MOEGI (1) is a three-year-old filly by Daiwa Major out of T O Meter on debut for the Manabu Ikezoe stable. Drawn nicely which is a big tick. Looks set to run well but betting holds the key. AMERICAN POLICE (3) is facing the starter for the first time. By Into Mischief and is out of the Ikee stable. Any push in betting should be respected. NISHINOITUKIMUSUME (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Capable of featuring prominently.
