Maiden Race 1200m Track: FIRM |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Just a moderate tempo without an obvious speed influence. MARRONKARANOTEGAMI (12) is a seven-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 1200m at this track. Big chance to shed the maiden tag. ROCK A BYE BABY (9) was beaten just 0.8 lengths when second at her latest appearance at this track over 1200m. Ready to win and expected to be very competitive. SWEET LOTUS (7) was thereabouts during her maiden preparation but didn't threaten to win. Resuming here off a break of 11 weeks. Has upside and can go on to better things this prep. NIJINO KANATANI (13) put the writing on the wall last time when third at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.75 lengths. Big chance to open her account.
