Kokura Race 5 - Maiden Race
MEISHO NARUKAMI (13) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and is overdue for a maiden win. Gets chance. ILLUMINA G T (8) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was prominent at the corner before being beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth over 2000m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. HO O STRIKE (12) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. KAZUSHI (4) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage seventh last start, beaten 6 lengths over 1800m at Tokyo. Likely improver.
