Nakayama Race 2 - Mdn Race
VENTO RINA (10) sets the standard off a Niigata 1600m 2nd last start, beaten 1L after leading throughout at 55kg, and maps to be prominent again. HANDSOME (11) appeals next after a solid Nakayama 1600m debut 3rd 19 days ago, 2.1L off the winner from barrier 1, though he draws wider here. SOMEONE YOU LOVED (7) was a close 3rd over this track/trip on a yielding surface 13 days ago and stays at 53kg. WILL STATE (8) brings strong second-up claims dropping back to 1600m after a Niigata 1400m 4th in a big field at a short quote.

Debuted at Fukushima over 1200m on 27 Jun, beaten 10.2L into 9th of 11 at $67 after settling back throughout. Resumes first-up from barrier 1 and rises 400m in trip with 55kg; the inside draw can help him find a more economical run. Needs to show improvement but the setup offers some scope for progress.

Second-up from barrier 2 after drawing 12 last time, he maps to get a softer run. Resumed at Niigata over 1400m when 13th of 18, beaten 13.75L by Beau Decor at $34, and now drops 200m to 1200m. Needs to lift, but the draw and trip tweak give him a more suitable set-up.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 3, she was a game 2nd at Sapporo over 1800m on 1 Aug, beaten 0.5L by Geo at $4.5 after travelling handy throughout with 55kg. That followed a solid 4th at Hakodate over 1800m on yielding going when $15, and she now drops 200m which can suit given her on-pace style. With Kazuma Harada aboard again and a positive jockey-trainer record (2:0-1-0), she profiles as a genuine chance.

Second-up after a debut 5th of 15 at Nakayama over 1600m 19 days ago, where she closed from well back to finish 11.11L off I’m On A Roll at $19. Draws barrier 4 again with 55kg and the same rider; natural improvement at the trip would see her competitive in this grade.

Second-up after debuting at Nakayama over 1600m 19 days ago, where she sat midfield to back and finished 12th of 15, 17.12L off I’m On A Roll at $126 carrying 55kg on GOOD ground. Draws barrier 5 this time (from 7) and stays at the trip, which offers a cleaner run if she begins well.

Second-up after a debut 10th of 11 at Nakayama over 1600m on yielding going, beaten 13.95L at $101 when tracking midfield before weakening. Draws barrier 6 (up from 2) with Takuya Kowata staying on and remains at 55kg. Needs to lift off that first outing but can be expected to take natural improvement.

Debuted 13 days ago at Nakayama over 1600m and boxed on for 3rd of 11, beaten 2.25L by Satono Hakumai at $41 after settling 4th/4th/5th/3rd, carrying 53kg on a yielding track. She stays at the same trip second up with the same rider, but moves from the inside draw to barrier 7, and that solid first outing sets a sound platform.

Second-up after a 55-day break, he comes off a Niigata 1400m run where he sat midfield and boxed on for 4th/18, beaten 6L at SP 5 carrying 55kg. Drops 200m and draws a touch better (barrier 8 from 11), and the rider switch to Christophe Lemaire could help him settle and finish off.

Third-up after a 6th of 12 at Niigata over 1600m on 2 Aug, beaten 4.1L at $13 when settling back and improving into the finish under 55kg. Debut run was a 4th of 10 at Fukushima over 1200m on 12 Jul, 4.05L off Ravissant Aile at $3.25 after getting back early. Holds scope to progress with race experience, but will need to step up to get into the finish.

Third-up and fresh off a Niigata 1600m second 54 days ago, racing handy throughout before finishing 1L behind Nodus at $4.4 with 55kg. She sticks to 55kg and returns with the same rider, and her 1600m record (1:0-1-0) suggests this trip suits; barrier 10 is trickier than the gate she had there but her on-pace style can offset it.

Promising debut at Nakayama over 1600m, sitting handy throughout from the inside draw to finish 3rd of 15, 2.1L behind I’m On A Roll at SP 5 carrying 55kg. Second-up now with the same weight but a tougher task from barrier 11; if he can find a spot early, he looks set to build on that solid platform.

Second-up after debuting at Niigata over 1600m 40 days ago, where he sat handy before fading to 9th of 13, 10.05L behind Top Layer at $41 carrying 55kg. Draws wider here in barrier 12 (from 6 last time), so he’ll need to settle better to improve at the mile.
