Maiden Race 1700m Track: FIRM |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting Gold Barows to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. Not a lot separates the top handful of chances. GOLD BAROWS (10) led to the turn over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last time out but faded to finish seventh. Showed more resistance the run prior when second on debut over the same trip. Can bounce back. UNISON (13) returned from a spell seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1500m at Kawasaki. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SHIN ENDO TSUDA (14) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth in a 1700m contest at this track two weeks ago. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. ON THE (2) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Among the chances.
