GOING:

Maiden Race 2200m

Track:      

Not a great deal of pace on paper so it may be left to one of the first starters to take it up. MIENO CROWN (1) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 2400m at this track. Will derive great benefit from recent racing. Has returned in good style and looks to have winning claims. BE SPECIFIC (2) is a son of Harbinger from the Group 2 winner Get Explicit who makes his debut. Profiles strongly and expecting a strong performance. SCRUMPTIOUS (7) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 2400m at Kyoto. One of the leading chances. OPEN THE PANDORA (11) started at big odds on debut last start when sixth, beaten 2 lengths, over 2200m at Chukyo. Has ability and worth including.
