GOING:

Maiden Race 2880m

Track: GOOD      

CHANDERNAGOR (12) registered a sound second 28 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. Placed all three over the fences. Impressed last start. Gets chance. ECLOGITE (11) returns from a 63-day spell. Made just the one appearance when last in work and was seventh in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, beaten 9 lengths. Yet to win over the obstacles from two starts. Ideally placed to run well. VENT NOUVEAU (3) was unplaced two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then produced a better result last time when she finished fourth, beaten 9 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin. Worth serious consideration. DOVER HAWK (9) returns from a 64-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing seventh in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, beaten 24 lengths. Sure to be improved on jumps debut. Expected to be prominent.
