GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Expecting Chuwa Melody to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. CHUWA MELODY (17) has four minor placings from four starts this time in work, the latest as favourite over 1200m at this track. Jumps from a wide gate but expected to go close. LEVI (16) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Kyoto, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Strips fitter and can feature. HIGGS BOSON (1) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when he was beaten 2.75 lengths into eighth over 1200m at Kyoto. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. OSUMI CIPHER (18) has not been sighted since he finished sixth over 1400m at Kyoto on May 2. Among the main hopes.
