GOING:

Maiden Race 2200m

Track:      

From a wide gate Edel Seele has the speed to cross and lead a low-pressure affair. RED REGALIA (9) was a hot favourite on debut, got back to near last off a wide draw and charged home to just miss. Sent for a break and returns with upside. Could prove too smart for these. EDEL SEELE (10) wasn't far off maiden success before a six months break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. First try at this longer trip. Can launch this campaign in positive style. BEST BROTHERS (1) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when seventh in a 2200m contest at this track eight weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. NOBLE SNIPER (12) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of M Kikukawa. By Satono Crown from Palme. Top-three chance.
