Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
PARADISE FAITH (9) met with solid support last start over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt when second, beaten 5 lengths, to make it three minor placings on the bounce. Has more talent than these and should be breaking through today. SAUDI BALLAD (11) has not raced since his debut on December 7 over 1800m at this track when he finished fifth, beaten 13 lengths. Expected to improve and will pay to follow up. SKY REX (15) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth on debut at this track the run before. Can make amends. MAMMOTH HOME RUN (14) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Koichi Shinkai. By Hokko Tarumae from Mariaveil. Watch the market closely.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, second last of 17 at Nakayama on December 20 over 2000m, 24 len behind Plaudits with 55.0kg at $265.10. Second-up 10th of 16 at Tokyo Dirt on February 7 over 1400m, 13 len behind Team Utopia carrying 55.0kg at $270.10. Would be better placed in something easier.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on the pace when 2nd of 10 at Kyoto Dirt on February 1 over 1900m, 5 len behind Ask Chance Man with 57.0kg at $2.40. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 13 at this track on January 18 over 1800m, 2.75 len behind Cymophane with 57.0kg at $2.90. Looks the winner.
