Tokyo Race 2 - Maiden Race
WIN BEGINNING (14) brings rock-solid credentials with four straight 2nds, latest at Tokyo over 1600m when runner-up to Placement, and looks suited dropping back in trip. NUCLEOTIDE (1) maps well from the inside and was 2nd here over 1400m two starts back, beaten 0.01L, before a solid 4th at Nakayama 1200m. I DARE YOU (8) has been on-speed in recent 1800m runs with three placings prior to a 4th at Nakayama, and the drop to 1400m can help. PURIPURI PUDDING (16) flashed home for 2nd at Tokyo 1400m last start and is a knockout hope if she reproduces that finish.

Has been around the mark, placing 2nd at Tokyo over 1400m on 3 May. Last start 2nd of 16 after settling back then running on strongly, beaten 2L by Repunit, with 52kg at $81 on GOOD. Draws wider in barrier 16 after jumping from 13 there, with Shoma Sato up again for Keizo Ito. Can feature with a repeat of that finish.
