Maiden Race 2000m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A race that lacks pace so expect a muddling tempo at best. LULU LIMA (7) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when she was beaten 2.5 lengths into sixth over 1800m at Tokyo. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YO HIN (15) has been freshened up since a disappointing eighth over 2000m at Kokura eight weeks ago. Can feature prominently. BACKPACK (5) is a three-year-old filly at the races for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Saturnalia from Retsina. Promising type who should be monitored for market support. WEISSKLEE (16) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1600m at Kyoto. Launched last prep with a minor placing at Chukyo over 1600m. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
