GOING:

Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. REX NOVUS (11) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Raced just once last prep and finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 2000m at Hanshin. Looks to have an edge on most of these. RED VARIATO (7) is an eight-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at Kyoto over 2200m last time out. Big chance to open his account. VOLVA (12) finished third last start over 2000m at Niigata, beaten 3.5 lengths. Starting to put it together and is sure to prove hard to beat. RAMANUJAN (10) finished 7 lengths away in eighth after being in the firing line on the turn at his last appearance over 2000m at Kyoto on April 27. Well placed on this occasion and is a likely improver.
