GOING: G

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Plenty of pace established by Sweet Pomelo, Terviseks and Sonic Breaker, with Mighty Kingdom close at hand. PARENT'S GIFT (11) was well fancied on debut and drifted well back but found the line powerfully to finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1400m at Tokyo. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. DOVI GRAND (17) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish third over 1600m at Hanshin. Tricky gate but likely improver who is expected to be in the finish. CIELO DORATO (7) turned in a much better run at her second appearance last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1400m at Tokyo. Progressing well and is among the chances. TAISEI ASTRO (13) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1800m at Nakayama. Can kick off with a bold showing.
