Maiden Race 1400m Track: FIRM |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A solid tempo is anticipated with Special Bunny and Margot Cara kicking up to hold out the next wave. KINTRA DANCER (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Chukyo. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Kyoto over 1600m. Ready for a bold run. OKAGESAN (11) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to find the placings at Chukyo two starts back when resuming before finishing fourth over 1600m at Nakayama last start. Likely to play a major role. SHONAN TAHTI (15) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 0.8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at Nakayama. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. FENCE BREAKER (2) closed last prep three months ago when he finished seventh over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Sure to measure up.
