Nakayama Race 1 - Mdn Race
GEMINI DIEU (11) sets the standard after a debut 2nd at Nakayama over 1200m on 12 Sep, running on from 4th to finish 3.5L off the winner under 55kg. MARINO ESPRESSO (7) rates next off her Niigata 1200m 3rd on 16 Aug, beaten 2.8L after racing handy from barrier 10 and she draws similarly again. NOBLE MINT (4) is third-up and was 6th at Nakayama 1200m on 6 Sep, 3.01L away after tracking the speed, which reads solidly for this. ECORO BLANC (2) can improve second-up dropping 200m after a Niigata 1400m 5th on 15 Aug, beaten 2.3L when prominent throughout from barrier 2.

Second-up after a debut 5th at Fukushima over 1200m (16 runners) where she settled midfield and worked home, beaten 6.26L at $26 carrying 55kg on Good. Draws the inside after barrier 12 last time, which can help her land a better spot. With natural improvement, this looks a suitable step.

Second-up after a debut 5th at Niigata over 1400m, beaten 2.3L at $8 when handy early from barrier 2. Drops 200m and again draws gate 2 with Akihide Tsumura to ride at 55kg, which should give her a soft run. Solid first-up platform suggests she can be competitive with natural improvement.

Third-up and back to 1200m last time at Nakayama, she boxed on for 6th of 14, beaten 3.01L in a GOOD-track maiden at $67 after settling midfield. Draws barrier 4 again and stays at 55kg, which looks a suitable set-up at this trip; a repeat of that effort keeps her in the mix for improvement.

Third-up after a 70-day break, she returns to 1200m with 52kg and a better draw than the wide gate she had when 10th of 12 at Fukushima on 18 Jul (SP 26) behind Shonan Haave. Her first two runs this prep at Fukushima 1200m were well beaten, including a 6th of 14 on 28 Jun (SP 5), but the inside draw and lighter impost offer a cleaner run-in-transit. Needs to lift on those margins, yet the setup is a touch kinder from barrier 5.

Third-up and coming off a solid 3rd at Niigata over 1200m (Class unknown) 41 days ago, beaten 2.8L at $19 after racing handy from barrier 10 under 55kg behind La Chiave. That followed a 4th at Fukushima over 1150m when posted wide early from the outside gate. With the barrier improving to 7 and the same rider sticking, a repeat of her latest effort brings her into the mix.

First up after 3 months, the mare resumes off a Hakodate 1000m run on 20 Jun where she finished 10th of 11, beaten 22.75L at SP 126 carrying 52kg from barrier 9. She rises 200m in trip and sticks with 52kg; drawn 9 again with Naota Uezato aboard. Needs to show sharp improvement on that effort but the new setup offers a chance to settle and build late.

Debuted 14 days ago at Nakayama over 1200m, sitting handy before finishing 2nd of 12 by 3.5L to Night Pilot on a sloppy track at $31 with 55kg. She stays at the same trip second-up, but faces a wider draw moving from barrier 3 to 11. With that solid first run and the same rider engaged, she looks a progressive mare who can run well again.

Second-up after a Nakayama 1200m debut 14 days ago, where she sat handy and boxed on for 6th of 12, 6.11L behind Night Pilot at $22 on a sloppy track. Carries 55kg today after 52kg first-up and again draws wide in barrier 12, so a cleaner surface and race experience can help her take a step forward.

Third-up and back to 1200m after a Niigata 1400m 2nd (2L) on 26 Jul carrying 55kg at $16, racing on-speed throughout. Previously placed 3rd over this trip at Fukushima on 12 Jul (2.3L) at $3.3, so the return to 1200m and wider draw of barrier 13 shape a similar stalking setup. Solid prospects to hold form at this distance.

Drops back 600m after leading and fading for 6th beaten 8.75L over 1800m at Nakayama on 5 Sep (55kg, SP 14) on a muddy track. Prior 1200m runs were 6th/15 at Niigata (8.05L, SP 41) and 9th/11 at Fukushima (6.36L, SP 51). Wide barrier 16 and a fourth-up profile suggest she’ll need to lift to figure.
