Nakayama Race 1 - Maiden Race
KITANO EPIQUE UN (7) Was agonizingly close last time here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Very competitive this campaign. Expected to be flashing home. Respect in this event. GINKEI (1) Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at the track and will appreciate a good barrier. Shows very good finishing speed. Strong chance. SAKURA BEAU BELLE (5) 3yo debutant by Shanghai Bobby for trainer Kazutomo Mori. Market as guide. TAISEI RUBY (8) Made some ground when 4th last start at the track. Looks promising in this race.

Zipped home into 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last run here and has the ideal alley. Should be swooping on the field late. Good potential.

Started at $67.00 and finished 8th last start at this venue but was on debut last time. Likely to get back. Drawn nicely. Can't recommend.

Missed by a narrow margin last time at this track and promising career start. In fine form since resuming from a break. Has a nice turn of foot. Chance and can measure up.
