Nakayama Race 9 - Suisen Sho
BULLET PASS (3) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner as favourite last start over 1800m at Tokyo. Should be near his peak for this. Looks the best horse in the race and will be a warm favourite. NOBLE SAVAGE (4) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 2000m at Tokyo three-and-a-half months ago and has not appeared since. Promising type who can cause a few headaches. EVENT HORIZON (7) went forward and gave a great sight when third over 2000m at Listed level at Kyoto last time out. Capable of testing this field. KOGYOKU (8) is back from a spell of five months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, taking out a 1800m contest at Kyoto by 1.5 lengths. Hard to knock.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd of 12 at Tokyo on February 1 over 1800m, 0.8 len behind Last Smile carrying 57.0kg at $3.10. The start before that favourite; won by a nose at Hanshin December 6 over 1800m defeating Kafuji Emmental with 56.0kg at $1.40. Looks better than these.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 5th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on January 17 over 1800m, 1.4 len behind Gamla Stan carrying 57.0kg at $14. Last start favourite; won by 0.5 len at Tokyo Dirt February 10 over 2100m defeating Takeru Musashi with 57.0kg at $2.40. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, favourite; won by 2 len at Chukyo December 13 over 2000m defeating Lay Classic carrying 56.0kg at $3.80. Last start raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 at Kyoto in LR on January 24 over 2000m, 1.5 len behind Shonan Hayanami with 57.0kg at $2.90. Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when won by 1.5 len at Kyoto October 5 over 1800m defeating Bullet Pass carrying 55.0kg at $4. Among the better chances.
