Nakayama Race 9 - Yamabuki Sho
DOGWOOD (8) Flashed home late into 2nd last run at Hanshin and promising career start. In good order since returning from a spell. Gets a chance to win. IMMORTALIS (13) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Was eating up the ground late to win last start here. Finishes off strongly. Will give a big sight. REY HISTORICO (5) Stormed home to win last run at Tokyo and good career start. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. CROWN IN THE AIR (9) Led throughout when winning by 1L last time at Kokura. Won't be far away during the run. Must respect.

Jumped at $11.00 and weakened to finish 5th last run at Tokyo but has minimal work to do from the alley. Displays good tactical speed. Betting is the best guide.

Was $21.00 and faded away to finish 7th last start at Kokura but has a positive barrier. Needs too much luck.
