HAKODATE   30 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track: FIRM      

Expecting Saikodane and Home And Dry to press forward and set the tempo. SARATOGA CHIPS (5) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 0.9 lengths away in third over 2000m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. TENDER DAYS (15) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2000m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. LYRA GREEN (3) is a 10-start maiden who finished fourth after being prominent at the bend at her most recent outing over 2000m at Tokyo. Worth including in this suitable contest. DO ADVANTAGE (2) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 16 lengths away in tenth over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
