Nakayama Race 3 - Mdn Race
SOUNDS AWESOME (13) Resumes after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Fukushima and having second career run. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . SUPER YUTAKA (6) Peaked on the run when 5th last time at Niigata. Should be going forward early. Will be around the mark at odds. POD LEVE (5) Moved through the field into 5th last run at Niigata. Has a nice turn of foot. Worth consideration. TAISEI SOARING (10) Didn't attack the line when 5th last time at Niigata. Likely to be well placed early. No shock to see a win.

At $126.00 well beaten when 8th last time around here but fitter for debut run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Not interested.

Fresh after a break. Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Fukushima and fitter for debut run. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Chance and can measure up.
