GOING: G

Maiden Race 2600m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting a genuine tempo with Yamanin Historia setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by Ask Dead Heat. ASK DEAD HEAT (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at Hakodate, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. YAMANIN HISTORIA (14) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2600m at Hakodate, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. G T TOSHI O (8) finished second last time over 2600m at Hakodate, beaten 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. BRILLIANT CHARA (5) returns after 12 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 2400m at Kyoto. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
