Maiden Race 1700m Track: |

Kataphraktos should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. MORONO KAGAYAKI (4) is yet to break through after four career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt following a minor placing at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m the run prior. Won't get too many better chances to open his account. GUADAGNINI (13) is a well-related three-year-old filly lining up for the first time. By Upstart from Great Family who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Has the right credentials to make a bright start to her career despite an awkward barrier. GUN FINGER (10) is appearing for the first time. By Curlin and is out of the Mitsumasa Nakauchida stable. Expect a bold run. CHURCHILL DEUCE (5) has not raced since he finished seventh over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt on April 4. Should run very well.
