Nakayama Race 5 - Maiden Race
DANON FUNSTAR (18) Hiroyasu Tanaka 3yo debutant by Kizuna. Watch early betting. LAMBRUSCO (12) Fresh after a break. Did well to finish 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last run here and was on debut last time. Has the ability to take this out. BEAR DOKKYUN (14) First up and was strong late when 3rd first up last preparation at this track. Should be swooping on the field late. Looks to be value. GOKO KOIKOI (7) Racing fresh after a break. Came in 10th last time at the track. Gets back and needs luck. Don't overlook as is capable of a big run.

Fresh today. Started at $101.00 and was well beaten when 10th last run here but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Looks highly doubtful.

At $41.00 average performance when 11th last time at Tokyo but will try to take advantage of the alley. Likely to get back. Most likely not today.
