GOING:

Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Solid tempo likely with Nihonpiro Marvel, One Heart and Meisho Bistro prominent. MEISHO KINTAI (14) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 2200m at Chukyo. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Chukyo over 2000m. Ready for a bold run. DANON JOKER (3) is a colt by Lord Kanaloa from the stakes-winner La Coronel on debut. Profiles strongly and expecting a strong performance. VOICE OF ZEUS (7) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 2000m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. MEISHO BISTRO (15) ran below expectations last start, finishing 16th and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1800m. Finds a nice race and can make amends.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 15 at this track on March 29 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Disparar carrying 57.0kg at $16.50. The run before that came from midfield; 4th of 13 at Kokura on February 2 over 1800m, 4 len behind Kumo Hitotsu Nai with 57.0kg at $7.30. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
