GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

A strong gallop is likely with Tosen Sintra and Donna Lee taking up the running, closely attended by Capital Stone and Coucher De Soleil. COUCHER DE SOLEIL (6) was prominent in running on debut three-and-a-half months ago and battled on well for third over 1600m at Tokyo. Has not been produced since. Likely improver and should be in the finish again. CAPITAL STONE (4) wasn't far away in two runs during his maiden prep, the latest a second over 1800m at Fukushima ten weeks ago. Re-unites with Takuya Ono and can break though here fresh. ANIENE (3) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1800m at Niigata, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will drift back but wind up late. Not beaten far both runs and looks a leading chance. DONNA LEE (7) has not appeared since she finished second on debut over 1800m at Fukushima on July 18. Led and run down on debut. Sure to give a sight fresh.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, failed to make an impression; ran second last of 12 at Niigata on August 22 over 1600m, 20 len behind Zip Spark carrying 55.0kg at $67.10.
