GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Fine Line and Black Ballade to roll forward and dictate the tempo. TOSEN ORYX (2) is progressing well, last time out finishing second over 2000m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. BLACK BALLADE (3) turned in a nice run when fresh from a spell two starts back at Nakayama then missed the placings last time when 7 lengths from the winner in seventh over 2000m at this track. Well placed and is among the leading players. FINE LINE (7) is yet to break through in five runs but has been thereabouts. Last start was 5.5 lengths away in fourth over 2000m at Kyoto. Should camp just off the leaders. Capable of testing this field. JALDABAOTH (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 2000m at this track. Well placed to play a part again.
