Maiden Race 2000m Track: FIRM |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting Piko La to take up the running with Ursprung and Buckingham Palace close at hand. URSPRUNG (14) resumes. Finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 2000m at Kokura four-and-a-half months ago. Should race just off the lead. Will play a major role. BUCKINGHAM PALACE (7) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 1.5 lengths away in second over 2000m at Tokyo. Well placed and expected to feature. ROAD OF KING (9) did little and finished 8 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1800m at Tokyo last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth on debut at Tokyo the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. PIKO LA (12) stepped out for her debut over 2000m at Nakayama back on December 1 and finished sixth, beaten 6 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish.
