Maiden Race 1500m

Track:      

Hakusan Miracle is expected to cross from a wide alley and lead. TREVI (9) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Tokyo. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Nakayama over 1600m. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. EPIPHALAND (4) finished third last start over 1500m at this track to make it four minor placings from seven runs. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this circuit. Among the top chances. AKSHARDHAM (6) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Hakodate but disappointed last time when 14th, beaten 9 lengths, at Hakodate over 1200m. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEINER RECUERDO (5) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming last start over 1700m at Morioka then fought on gamely to finish third. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance.
