GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Otokogi Ampan and Star Maiden to push forward from wide out and set a strong tempo. SUN URIEL (11) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1800m at Hanshin. Can make a winning return. REGINA COELI (3) finished sixth after being in the firing line on the bend at his last appearance over 1600m at Niigata on May 18. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. OTOKOGI AMPAN (16) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 2000m at Chukyo. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. STAR SHOWER (9) finished 8 lengths from the winner in 14th at her most recent outing over 2000m at Tokyo after she gave away a big start. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
