Nakayama Race 3 - Maiden Race
VIS CRES (13) did a good job on debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Likely improver who is perfectly placed to go one better. DEATHSCYTHE (8) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Likely improver who should give the top pick plenty to think about. FLEXIBLE (12) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when seventh at this track over 1200m, beaten 7 lengths. Capable of much more this time. RESORT LINE (6) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 9 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the turn. Open to plenty of improvement.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, second last of 14 at this track on December 27 over 1200m, 17 len behind Gelato Kitty with 55.0kg at $139.40. Second-up 7th of 16 at this track on January 25 over 1200m, 8 len behind Satono Escape with 55.0kg at $442.50. Hard to make a case today.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 13 at Tokyo on November 8 over 1400m, 14 len behind Leo Agile with 55.0kg at $145.10. Second-up second last of 16 at Nakayama on December 28 over 1200m, 13 len behind Nishino Seido with 55.0kg at $275.70. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.
