Nakayama Race 11 - The Nakayama Kinen(G2)
ECORO WALZ (10) returns from a break and looks hard to beat. Placed 2/2 this grade including this race last year when runner-up. Can go one better. LEBENSSTIL (5) was solid at the top level in the Grade 1 Mile Championship before a break. Has won 3/4 this grade. Goes very well fresh and looks a definite danger. SEIUN HADES (1) goes very well fresh and trip suits. Could prove too smart for these. CERVINIA (6) last appeared when she finished tenth over 1600m in the G1 Mile Championship at Kyoto on November 23. Boasts a first-up record of three wins and two placings from eight starts. Among the better hopes.
