2000m – Turf
Gran Dia | Was second in debut Kokura 1800m. Broke maiden over Chukyo 2000m in mid Sep last out. Good late speed. Races midfield. Competitive here. |
Justin Palace | Won debut in mid Sep last out over Chukyo 2000m. Will be first time racing to right. Raced handily. Good speed. Cool-headed, good racing sense. With this talent and promise, direction not likely a problem. |
Meisho Gekirin | Recorded 6-4-1 over dirt at 1700-1800m with 2 races in quick succession last month. Still immature and lacks strength. Failed to change leads in final stage last out. Move to turf may help. Wild card. |
Mozu Tanjiro | Won last out on 17 Oct over furlong shorter but slow at break and slow to gain ground. Ran solidly to end. Extra distance may help. Has potential but still immature and spooky. |
Nihonpiro Clair | Filly is 4-11-14 over 7 furlongs. Extra ground could help as sire A Shin Hikari excelled at distance but speed lacking. Not promising. |
Sound Clare | Came from far rear in stretch drive to win narrowly over Kokura 1800m last out in end Aug. Filly will have 2 lbs allowance. Trip suited but speed not exceptional. Extra distance likely plus. Worth a wager. |
