Admire Sage

Not standout in training but won his debut over 1800m strongly, albeit on the flat, tight Kokura track. Half-brother of 2009 Japanese Derby (2400m) winner Logi Universe. Has potential. Should be able to handle step up in class.

Nihonpiro Maribu

Shown excellent late speed in his winning debut over Kyoto 1800m. Whether the turns and undulation at Hanshin pose problem will remain to be seen.

Queen’s Lavender

This filly won her debut at a course record time for 2YO over 2000m at Chukyo. Good early speed and racing sense. Settles well and looks like a class act.  First run at right-handed track this time.

Studley

Broke maiden over Kyoto 2000m on slower track last out. Slow at break but good turn of foot. Competition stiff.

World Revival

Erratic results over last 3 starts, all over 2-month span. Modest speed. Not promising.
