Nakayama Race 2 - Mdn Race
TEXAS (3) Good run when finishing 3rd last time at Niigata and having second race start. One of the major players. SHOOT THE WORKS (8) Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 3L last run at Niigata. Been in the money each attempt this preparation. Serious player. WINNER'S CHECK (7) Close to claiming the win last time at Fukushima. More confidence with jockey Yuga Kawada guiding the horse. Finishes off strongly. In the mix. MEINER RICHARD (2) Overrun in the closing stages of the race when 6th last time at Niigata and having second race start. Should race on the speed. Drawn nicely. Worth an each way bet in this.

At $81.00 lost momentum late when 5th last time at Niigata and having second race start. Expecting to settle positively. Has drawn the rails. Not threatening these.

Started at $8.50 and was outmatched late when 6th last time at Niigata and was a debutant last start. Should come to hand quickly. Gets a favourable draw. Could feature here.

Made considerable ground when 3rd last time at Niigata and was a debutant last start. Good chance at a nice price.

Odds of $11.00 and gave ground when 5th last start at Fukushima and having second career run. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Odds of $23.00 and finished 7th last run at Sapporo. Does take a while to get into stride. Not without a chance.

At $67.00 ran 7th last time at Niigata but was on debut last time. Likely to settle back in the field. Lines up against a competitive field.

Close to claiming the win last time at Fukushima. Has a great burst of speed late. Yuga Kawada is a plus. Strong claims in this.
