Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
BELLE OCEAN (4) Kept boxing on when 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last time at this track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Looks to be value. UNCHAIN (5) Finished 11th last start at Tokyo. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. A win wouldn't surprise. GEMPACHI JUPITER (11) 3yo by New Year's Day having initial appearance for Tsuyoshi Tanaka. Market as guide. NINJA TOTTORI (15) Ran well when 2nd last time at this track. Can get the job done.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Odds of $8.50 and advanced late into 4th last start at this track and was on debut last time. Watch the betting.

Fresh today. Jumped at $15.00 and gave away some ground when 9th last start at Tokyo but having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Chances are slim.
