Nakayama Race 1 - Mdn Race
SMART BRIDE (9) Flashed home late into 2nd last run at Niigata and was on debut last time. Will take beating today. SALLY DEUX (1) First up and finished 2nd first up last preparation at Fukushima. Has drawn the rails. Should take beating. LUZ DEL CAMINO (5) Didn't maintain the pace when 4th last start at this venue and having second career run. Winnable race. ZINC PYRITHIONE (2) First up after a break. Didn't threaten when 8th last run at Fukushima but was a debutant last start. Has a good draw. Worth an each way bet in this.

First up and looked good when 2nd first up last preparation at Fukushima. Has drawn to do little work. No surprise to see solid support in the betting.

Resumes from a spell. Started $19.00 and weakened to finish 8th last run at Fukushima but having second race start. Gets a favourable draw. Place claims at best.

Resuming after a spell. Started at $101.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 10th last time at Tokyo but having second career run. Won't find this easy.

Started at $51.00 and didn't find the line when 12th last run at this track. Better to look elsewhere.

Started $13.00 and tired in the closing stages when 4th last start around here and was a debutant last start. Expect a forward showing.

Fresh after a break. Odds of $201.00 and performed below standard when 12th last start at Kokura. Hard to see it being competitive today.
