GOING:

Maiden Race 1600m

Track: STANDARD      

Genuine pace with Contango and Hatsuhinode showing out along with Vip Dylan working over. LA TRACE (1) has not appeared since he finished third over 1600m at Chukyo on December 1, the only run of that campaign. Promising filly who gets the perfect run out of the inside gate and is hard to go past. VIP DYLAN (10) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1600m at Kyoto. Sure to give his all once again. CONTANGO (2) wasn't far off maiden success before an 11-week break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Drawn well close to the inside. Has ability and is a leading player. COSMO GLORY (9) finished third first-up at Kyoto then wasn't far away last time when fourth at the same track over 1600m when beaten 0.7 lengths. Will drift back but wind up late. Can figure in the finish.
