Maiden Race 2000m

Track:      

Good tempo expected with Butlers Wharf, Mother's Will and Ra's Al'ayn rolling forward. STRAIGHT BLACK (9) is poised to win after placing at her last four outings, most recently when third over 2000m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MABU AND FER (5) remains a maiden after 10 runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time but could only manage to finish fifth over 2400m at Sapporo Dirt. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. YAMANO IMPACT (16) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 2000m at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. SHONAN TAHTI (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in sixth over 1500m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
