Nakayama Race 1 - Mdn Race
SORANI WARAEBA (2) Didn't find the line when 7th last start at Niigata. Should improve here and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Has the ability to take this out. GERANIUM (1) Disappointing outing when 10th last time at Niigata but was on debut last time. Should be going forward early. Drawn well. Exotics and place contender. HIGH TRACTION (3) Back from a spell. Just average when 12th last start at Tokyo but having second career run. Should be around the mark. VICHY CHECK (8) Lacklustre showing when 9th last time at Niigata but was on debut last time. Has a nice turn of foot. One at a decent price.

Was $19.00 and disappointing run when 10th last time at Niigata but was a debutant last start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Drawn the rails. Has some claims.

Was $8.50 and faded away to finish 7th last start at Niigata. Should improve here and drawn nicely. Must respect.

First up after a break. Started at $17.00 and disappointing effort when 12th last start at Tokyo but having second race start. Watch for a sign in the market.

Jumped at $151.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 11th last time at Sapporo. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

Odds of $101.00 and performed below standard when 7th last start at Niigata. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.

Backing up quickly. Started $51.00 and only fair when 9th last start at Hanshin but returning to more ground. Might have to make up considerable ground. Respect the betting.

Below par performance when 9th last time at Niigata but was on debut last time. Displays very good finishing speed. Could be in the mix.

Ran on into 4th last start at Niigata. Should be swooping on the field late. Watch the betting.

Fresh today. Odds of $81.00 and clearly outclassed when 14th last time at Fukushima but was on debut last time. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Will find this tough.

Resuming after a break. Peaked on the run when 7th last time at Fukushima and fitter for debut run. Not at all out of this race.

Was $51.00 and finished 8th last start at Niigata but fitter for debut run. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Knockout chance.
