Nakayama Race 4 - Mdn Race
SOKAI WARRIOR (8) First up from a spell. Ran on when 3rd last run at Tokyo and having second race start. Hard to dismiss. GULL DROTTINN (10) Resumes from a break. Made some ground late when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Fukushima and having second career run. Jockey Christophe Patrice Lemaire rates highly. A win wouldn't surprise. ARSLAN (9) Not up to scratch when 7th last run at Niigata but fitter for debut run. Definite claims. COSMO PLUIE (1) Made considerable ground when 2nd last start at Niigata and having second career run. Drawn the rails. Must come into consideration.

Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last start at Niigata and having second career run. Has the ideal draw. Could be in the mix.

Odds of $81.00 and lacked competitiveness when 6th last time at Fukushima but gets a favourable draw. Gets back and needs luck. Can't have in this.

Odds of $51.00 and came in 8th last time at Niigata but having second career run. Might be ridden for luck. Can't have today.

On a quick turnaround. Jumped at $34.00 and looked outclassed when 9th last time at Chukyo. Tough race will need luck.

Nice effort to run into 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last run at Niigata and having second career run. Always seems to find the line well. Not at all out of this race.

Tired late when 5th last run at Niigata and having second career run. Should come to hand quickly. Has some claims.

Fresh from a spell. At $34.00 below expectations when 13th last run at Fukushima but having second career run. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Take on trust.

Jumped at $81.00 and well beaten when 10th last start at Niigata. Expected to settle towards the tail. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.
