Nakayama Race 3 - Maiden Race
TSUKUBA VANGUARD (8) Competed in a tight contest last run at the track and putting a tidy record together. Expecting to settle positively. Producing consistent results this preparation. Strong hope. LORD TRIDENT (5) Didn't maintain the pace when 6th last start at Tokyo but will be dropping in distance. Will be trying to topple them late. Among better hopes. MASANO PINK LADY (2) Fresh today after a break. Big effort to finish 3rd last start around here and was on debut last time. Should race on the speed. Has a positive gate. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. KARAKURI SPIRITS (16) Improved late to finish 4th last start at this venue. Recent form of Makoto Saito is strong. Can go on with it.

Jumped at $81.00 and finished 7th last time at Kyoto but has a nice advantage with a good alley. Overlook from a betting angle.

Resuming after a break. Gave plenty of cheek when 3rd beaten by 1 3/4L last start at the track and fitter for debut run. Has definite claims.
