2500m – Turf

Baie Des Anges

Very consistent mare and 3 wins in a row, including two  over the course and distance.  But double-digit finishes in recent 2 starts at this class after more than a year break. 

Breakup

Two thirds in two runs over the course and distance.  No match for the winner in his first run at this class last month.  Leads or sits handy.

Coast Line

Experienced at the distance, but only finished 9th in his first run at this class last out.  Usually races from deep but sometimes settles in mid-pack. 

Eternal Vitesse

Three wins at 2000m.  No match for the winners in recent 3 starts.  Likely outclassed. 

Figlio Allegro

Won over the course and distance a class below last year.  Well 3rd in his first run at this class but well beaten latest.  This will be his first run after 6-month off.

Meiner Columbus

Experienced at the distance.  Won a class below in his seasonal bow at 2600m in January and dead-heat 5th latest at this class.  Tactically versatile.

Nautical Chart

Won a class below over the course and distance a year ago.  Not bad in recent three runs since moving up to this class.  Races close to speed. 

Paradise Reef

Very promising.  Finished inside top three in all 6 runs.  Won on his return last September after more than two years spell due to tendon injury.  This will be his first run over 2500m.

Road To Fame

All 3 wins at Nakayama, including his last win at 2500m in September.  Showed upward curve in recent 2 starts at this class.  No ground worries.

Sanrei Fight

Has not tasted any success since last May at 1800m on dirt.  Double-digit finishes in recent three runs.  Likely outclassed but will surprise if he improves dramatically on turf.

Satono Radius

Graded race performer at 3.  Since moving up to this class, showed consistency and best 2nd twice over the course and distance last year.  Not bad in two starts this term. 

Turkish Palace

The Golden Horn-sired horse showed good 5th effort on his return from 7-month break last month.  Good late speed.  Extra distance may not be a plus.

Vela Azul

Performed on dirt in 16 starts.  Placed 3rd twice a class below.  Shifted to turf last out and won over 2600m with a good turn of foot.
