Nakayama Race 2 - Mdn Race
IN TO THE BLUE (2) Even though fading at the finish still grabbed 3rd last start at Sapporo and can find a nice position from the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Looks a winning hope. YODONO PREMIUM (9) Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 3rd last time at Niigata and having second race start. Respect. MARS WORTH (6) Ran 7th last time at Niigata. Could sneak a place. EIFER MARINE (10) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2L last start at Niigata and having second career run. Likely to fill a place.

Odds of $7.50 and tailed off to finish 8th last start at Niigata but fitter for debut run. Drawn the rails. Knockout chance.

Was in the hunt for a long way when 3rd last start at Sapporo and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Should race on the speed. Strong chance to be considered.

Jumped at $101.00 and lost ground in the run home when 13th last start at Niigata but was on debut last time. Looks optimistic.

Racing fresh today after a break. Started at $101.00 and came in 7th last run at Fukushima. Likely to get back in the field. Entitled to be big odds.

Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 3rd last time at Niigata and was a debutant last start. Genuine claims.

Backing up quickly. Jumped at $126.00 and looked outclassed when 13th last run around here but was a debutant last start. Will be a difficult test.
