GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track: FIRM      

Danon Whitney and Admire Porsche will bowl along in front. DANON WHITNEY (5) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 2000m at Niigata, doing her best work through the line. Likely improver with winning claims. FOTIZO (12) was well in commission on his debut over 2000m at this track three weeks ago and finished ninth, beaten 11 lengths. Surely has more to offer and will pay to follow up. CHEVAL AILE (2) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 2300m at this track. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. SATONO LIEN (8) is on debut. By Kizuna and comes from the Sakae Kunieda stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
