Toowoomba Race 7

Empire Of Japan Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $24,500

TAJALAT (7) is in the top metro stable and is the one they have to beat. She placed here first-up and has raced well in stronger Maidens. Strips fitter and the 1.5kg claim is handy. SHEDENZA (6) found a place at Beaudesert on debut and can build on that. The longer sprint will suit. ENIGMA'S CHOICE (2) went close here on debut and also has plenty of scope for improvement. HIGHLAND SAPPHIRE (3) is a former Victorian who was in need of the first-up outing. His best stacks up and improvement is likely. NICCONIUM (1) got too far back here first-up for the new yard. He draws better today and placed at his only second-up outing. The 2kg claim is handy, and his best form would have him right in it.

Second-up. First-up after nearly two years 3rd of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on August 16 over 1200m, 3 len behind Kingsland carrying 56.5kg at $10. Previously second-up 3rd of 14 at Sunshine Coast 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 17 2023 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Wind Rush Farm with 58kg at $4. Shaping up nicely and is among the chances.
