GOING:

Maiden Race 1600m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo set by Logi State and Lightning Run. NOBLE LINER (2) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Tokyo 11 weeks ago. Can pick up where he left off. ONE CALL AWAY (11) is a five-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent appearance over 1600m at Hanshin. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. VIA STELLA (12) has not appeared since she finished ninth over 1800m at Kokura on February 22. Best figures read very well. VEILED IMPACT (3) was beaten 5 lengths into sixth at the second run back from a break in a 1800m contest at Nakayama eight weeks ago. Nicely placed to find some form.
