GOING:

Maiden Race 2200m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Red Brighton heading them off. MEISHO NARUKAMI (1) was fourth on debut then runner-up all four since. Fitter and expected to get off the mark this time. HEY JUDE (7) placed on debut then missed the frame but not far away this trip latest. Genuine contender in this suitable contest. LA VILLETTE (14) is a well-related three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Satono Diamond from Guillem who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Sure to be well-educated, being from the Y Ikee yard. MEISHO HERBS (10) was beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth in a 2000m contest at Hanshin last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
