Nakayama Race 5 - Maiden Race
WILLOW CREEK (12) finished second first-up at this track then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fifth here over 2200m when beaten 3 lengths. Should be prominent throughout and is a terrific chance to return to form. BELTRACCHI (17) fought on for third last start over 2400m at Tokyo, making it three minor placings from as many career runs. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NISHINO HINOTORI (2) finished 2 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 2200m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Heading the right way and is a key contender. KING GLORY (5) finished 7 lengths away in ninth at his last appearance over 2200m at this track on January 24. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
