Kokura Race 2 - Maiden Race
PEGASUS NORTH (5) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. Should race handy again and with the run under the belt looks the one to beat. SILFLAY (2) is down significantly in the weights today and hasn't been far off a win, the latest effort a fifth over 1200m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Leading contender. APRIL IN PARIS (4) has not been sighted since she finished fifth over 1400m at Chukyo on December 14. Lightly raced filly with a strong SP profile. Must be respected. A SHIN ABYSS (1) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished fifth, beaten only 1.2 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Likely improver worth including.
