Maiden Race 1800m Track: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Slick pace with Balletcore finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. DIVERTISSEMENT (6) is a seven-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 2 lengths when fourth over 2000m at this track. Fitter and capable of taking this out. FILLE CHAN (16) is a nine-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent appearance over 1600m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. WIN VERTEX (10) finished third last time out over 1800m at this track, making it three career minor placings. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three three times. Expected to measure up. CHANGE OF HEART (3) could only manage to finish 12th, beaten 6 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1200m at Hakodate after he was well back on straightening. This looks a nice race so expect him to finish closer.
