GOING: G

DAHLIA SHO 1400m

Track:      

Should be a keen tempo with a field of juveniles lining up. Tricky race with a lot of promising types coming together. HIGHER MARK (3) impressed when successful on debut over 1200m at Hakodate four weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. TAISEI VOGUE (1) did a good job to land the prize on debut over 1400m at Hanshin seven weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. LAND STAR (5) impressed when successful on debut over 1400m at Tokyo seven weeks ago. Has upside and is among the chances again. YAMAME RISE (7) won on debut last time out five weeks ago over 1200m at Fukushima, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Winning claims on that effort.
