GOING: G

Maiden Race 2000m

Track: STANDARD      

Very keen early battle with Lone Wolf and Wave Rock matching motors and there are a few others that can keep them busy. GRAN ATOMICA (10) closed last prep with a fifth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt on March 24. Worth noting that she opened the last campaign with a minor placing at Nakayama over 2000m. Should camp just off the leaders. Likely to feature. CAL BAY CRUISE (9) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 2000m at Tokyo. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. LONE WOLF (8) is finding the breakthrough elusive, beaten 11 lengths into ninth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. ENZO (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on April 21 finishing ninth and beaten 9 lengths over 2400m at Tokyo. Has to be respected.
