Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
TSUKUBA VANGUARD (12) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt after being in contention on the corner. Gets chance. DEA PRIMUS (7) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Has the pace to be prominent from the outset. Good chance to break through. RAIKA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BELLE OCEAN (15) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1200m at this track. One of the leading contenders.
