Nakayama Race 2 - Mdn Race
PRINCIPATUS (2) maps as the one to beat second up after a debut 2nd at Fukushima over 2000m (1L, 55kg) and draws much better from barrier 2. REGIME CHANGE (12) is a key danger rising to 2000m after a strong Sapporo 1800m 2nd (1.5L, 55kg) when well backed. KOSAI RIKURI (7) brings consistent 1800m form, leading and holding 3rd at Nakayama last start (0.6L, 55kg). TOSEN MASURAO (6) has solid early figures, closing for 3rd at Fukushima 1800m two back (2L, 55kg) and can be competitive up in trip.

Third-up from a soft draw, she comes off a Nakayama 1800m run three weeks ago when 10th of 11, beaten 21.6L (52kg, SP 251) after settling back throughout behind Cosmo Pluie. Prior start at Fukushima 1200m she was 13th of 13, beaten 26.41L (55kg, SP 91). The inside barrier and a 200m rise in trip from that last run offer a different setup to help her find improvement.

Second-up and draws barrier 2 after a wide gate on debut, which should afford a softer run in transit. He was a 61 SP outsider at Fukushima over 2000m yet closed into 2nd of 16 by 1L (55kg) behind Escuadra, suggesting upside at this trip. With Christophe Lemaire aboard and an improved draw, he looks well placed to build on that promising start.

Second-up after a debut at Nakayama over 2000m where he sat handy before fading to 10th of 11, beaten 16L at $51. Drops into barrier 3 from 9 and sticks at 55kg with Genki Maruyama; the softer draw should help him find a more economical run.

Returns first up after 84 days and draws barrier 4 with 55kg for Mirai Iwata. Closed out to 4th at Fukushima over 1800m on 4 Jul (SP 10) beaten 2.8L after settling handy, and was 4th at Tokyo over 1400m prior (SP 5.5). The 200m rise in trip looks suitable on that latest run profile, giving him a solid platform to figure.

Second-up after debuting at Nakayama over 1800m 13 days ago, where she carried 55kg and finished 8th of 11 at $151, beaten 10.3L by Slow Boogie. She drops 2kg to 53kg, draws barrier 5 after gate 4 last time, and shortens 200m which could help her settle closer. With that experience and a lighter impost, she can show improvement.

Third-up and holding form, having run 3rd at Fukushima on 11 Jul over 1800m (Good) beaten 2L carrying 55kg at $7.5 after improving mid-race behind Leontios and Capital Stone. That followed a solid 4th at Tokyo on 21 Jun over 1800m (Good), 2.25L off Aviatore at $51. Steps up 200m and draws barrier 6, with a minor placing from this gate range and a 1-from-2 placing record with Kazuki Kikuzawa offering continuity.

Third-up and holding a solid profile this season (2:0-1-1), she chased home from the front for 3rd at Nakayama over 1800m on 5 Sep, beaten 0.6L at $9.5 by Cosmo Pluie.

Second-up after a debut 4th at Fukushima over 2000m, beaten 6.5L at $17 carrying 55kg after settling midfield to worse before running on late. Draw improves from 5 to barrier 8 today, and the setup should help him build on that encouraging first outing.

Third-up after two 9th-place efforts, most recently at Nakayama 2000m on 13 Sep when beaten 25.5L on yielding going at $151 after settling handy then fading. Draws barrier 10 again and retains 55kg with a new rider, and the rise from 1800m to 2000m last start didn’t spark improvement. Needs to lift to feature.

Debuted at Sapporo over 1800m, racing handy before finishing 2nd of 12 by 1.5L behind City Of Dream at $2.5 with 55kg. He returns second-up after 41 days, steps up 200m, and draws barrier 12 again with Takeshi Yokoyama aboard. Solid debut platform suggests he can hold his form over this longer trip.
