GOING:

Maiden Race 2770m

Track: STANDARD      

OSTERIA (13) comes here off a sound second 22 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto. That result was on the back of a solid third in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at the same track two starts ago. Sure to prove hard to beat. GRAVITE (2) returned from a spell last start with a strong third in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at this track. Key runner - don't underestimate. FESTIVE BEAM (8) filled a minor prize two back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Couldn't emulate that effort last time out, beaten 11 lengths into sixth in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Deserves another chance. MATENRONO KAZE (6) is going over the jumps for the first time. Finished 3.5 lengths away seventh at the latest appearance on the flat over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Sure to be competitive.
