Nakayama Race 3 - Mdn Race
ALEX K (7) Came in 4th last start at Niigata. Expecting improvement. Winning hope. LA JUERGA (6) Outgunned at the finish when 3rd last start at Niigata and fitter for debut run. Will be positive in the run early. This field suits. KISEKINO UNICORN (12) First up from a break of 11 weeks and good performance to run into 3rd first up last preparation at Hakodate. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . SAIMON ORIENT (8) Ran 7th last run at Niigata but fitter for debut run. Gets back and needs luck. Place looks best.

At $21.00 not up to standard when 8th last start at Niigata but will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Looks highly doubtful.

Odds of $26.00 and faded to finish 7th last time at Niigata but having second race start. Should be going forward early. Has a good draw. Can't back with any confidence.

At $51.00 couldn't stay in touch when 8th last start at Niigata and was on debut last time. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Few more classier types in this race.
