GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo with Mikki's Best leading from Pod Loire and Danglard. TREVI (9) finished second, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Nakayama after she was in contention on the turn. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. ALA GRACIA (15) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten half a length, over 1400m at this track when resuming after a break. Promising filly who can measure up. YUKINO EMILIO (10) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1200m at Nakayama. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. DANGLARD (11) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, after being in the firing line on the turn at his latest appearance over 1600m at Nakayama. Should be about the money.
