GOING: G

Maiden Race 2600m

Track: STANDARD      

Pace strong with Bright Mail and Grazioso leading with Red Variato nearby. BRIGHT MAIL (14) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being prominent at the corner at his latest appearance over 2600m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. VALDERRAMA (1) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing tenth over 2400m at Tokyo last start. Well placed to make amends. DRAGUIGNAN (6) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fourth after being in contention on the corner at his last appearance over 2400m at Hakodate Dirt on June 28. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. YAMANIN HISTORIA (11) finished second over 2400m at Kyoto two back then missed the frame last time out over 2000m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Chance on best figures and worth including.
