Maiden Race 2970m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
SEKITEI O (9) was unplaced at jumps debut then ran a much improved race last time when he grabbed third in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at this track. Set to continue the upward trend. MEISHO FUNJIN (4) has not raced since he was runner-up on the flat over 2000m at Saga on February 12. Tackles the jumps for the first time. Has switched to the Shinichiro Akiyama stable since the last run. Capable of a top-three finish. GRAVITE (7) finished fourth two runs ago in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then again missed the top three most recently but was only beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Capable of turning things around. MOSKROSSER (2) resumed after a spell last start with a modest sixth in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Deserves another chance.
