Nakayama Race 5 - Maiden Race
HONEY JO (4) turned in a good effort on debut five months ago when 2.75 lengths away in third at Tokyo over 1600m. Led and was run down late. Will be better for that race experience and looks the one to beat. SHONAN SAIO (13) returned last time with a solid third at Tokyo over 1800m. Likely improver with strong prospects. RUNWAY MUSE (2) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Debuted with a second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1600m at this track at her only appearance to date. Profiles to run well. BELLE RENCONTRE (11) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished 14th over 1800m at this track. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
