Maiden Race 2400m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pace from the outset with Nobori Diamant and Orarion leading the charge. MAN OF NOBLE (15) finished 1.1 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 2400m at this track, an improvement on his tenth on debut at Fukushima the run before. Progressing nicely and looks ready to win. HO O EARNEST (14) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 2400m at Tokyo after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. JET AIR (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when sixth over 1800m at Tokyo three weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. MEISHO HARI SON (5) could only manage to finish 12th, beaten 6 lengths, at his latest appearance over 2000m at Hanshin after he was well back on straightening. Placed the start prior and it will be no surprise if he figured in the finish.
