Maiden Race 2000m Track: STANDARD |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good speed from Livingstone, Noah Churros and Nolan Sunrise. LIVINGSTONE (3) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 2000m at Hanshin. Can improve enough to win this. OVERSTAND (14) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1800m at Kyoto. Ready to find winning form. KING BEL (17) is a five-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Hanshin. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. FIORE STRADA (15) is a nicely bred three-year-old filly on debut. By Epiphaneia from the former top race mare Quatre Feuilles who has produced some fine gallopers, including Gr 3 winner Argine. Looks one of the better chances despite a tricky gate.
