Kokura Race 5 - Maiden Race
FREEDOM REIGN (8) missed the frame two runs ago in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Chukyo. Turned things around last time when he filled a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track. Set to continue the upward trend. ANGEL ROUND (2) was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 6 lengths into fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track. Improvement in store. TALENTUEUSE (4) did a reasonable job when he finished second in a maiden steeplechase (2770m) at Fukushima two runs back. Less effective last time when 14 lengths away in sixth in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Expect a return to form. MEINER MESSIAH (9) was unplaced two runs ago in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto. Bounced back last time when he filled a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track. Capable of a another forward showing.
