Nakayama Race 2 - Mdn Race
ATHENA BRAVE (11) Right in contention last start at Niigata. Displays good tactical speed. Right in this. CELESTINA (3) Moved through the field into 5th last time at Niigata and was a debutant last start. Possesses very good closing speed. Key player. AVANT DESSERT (8) Came in 9th last run at Niigata but having second race start. Cracking each way value. J L KEEL (12) Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 2nd last run at Niigata and having second career run. Should be rolling forward early from the wide alley. Watch it go close.

Jumped at $41.00 and faded away to finish 11th last run at Niigata but was a debutant last start. Should be going forward early. Needs a mighty effort to win this.

At $51.00 below par performance when 12th last run at Chukyo but was on debut last time. Might have to make up considerable ground. May find these too slick.
