Nakayama Race 3 - Mdn Race
RED MAU LOA (1) maps well from barrier 1 and brings the strongest recent figure after a 2nd at Niigata over 1800m on 30 Aug (3L, 55kg, SP 3.1), now second up with Christophe Lemaire aboard. IKIFUN (9) is the clear danger off a last-start 2nd at Nakayama over 1800m on 12 Sep (2L, 55kg, SP 3.9) and stays at the trip. FABRIC (4) was 3rd at Nakayama over 1800m on 6 Sep from barrier 12 and draws better here in 4, second up. MAPLE COME ON (7) closed from the back for 4th in that same 6 Sep Nakayama 1800m and can hold a spot from barrier 7.

Debuted 27 days ago at Niigata over 1800m and stuck on well for 2nd of 13, beaten 3L by Uranographia at $3.10 after racing handy throughout with 55kg. Now second-up and draws the inside after barrier 9 last time, which should afford a soft run. With Christophe Lemaire aboard and back at 1800m, he looks set to progress.

Third-up and coming off a much-improved 4th at Nakayama over 1800m two weeks ago, beaten 3.8L on a sloppy track at $26 after settling midfield. Draws barrier 2 this time after jumping from 12 last start, which can help him hold a handy spot. With the same rider at 55kg, he looks to have further improvement in this setup.

Third-up after a 5th of 12 at Sapporo over 1700m on 5 Sep, closing from back in the field and beaten 11.55L by Logi Acous at SP 101. Draws much better today from barrier 3 after jumping from 12 last time, and carries 52kg after 51kg there; a cleaner run-in transit could see him improve.

Debuted 20 days ago at Nakayama over 1800m and boxed on for 3rd of 12, beaten 9L on a sloppy track after working across from barrier 12 at $11. Second-up now from a handier gate 4 with Yasunari Iwata staying aboard, and he holds solid course-and-trip figures (1:0-0-1). A cleaner surface and the better draw can help him take another step.

Fourth-up and back to 1800m, he stuck on from the lead before fading to 8th of 12 at Nakayama on 12 Sep (Class not listed), beaten 11.55L by Success Boy at $17 on a sloppy track. Prior runs included a 9th over 1400m at Hanshin and a wide, rearward trip when 13th at Fukushima over this trip. Draws barrier 5 and stays on 55kg; needs to lift but the recent on-pace effort here offers some encouragement.

Second-up after a debut 6th of 10 at Niigata over 1200m on 8 Aug, beaten 12.76L at $18 when ridden back and making some late ground. Drops sharply in trip by 600m and draws barrier 6, which could help him settle handier under Makoto Sugihara. Scope to improve with the run under his belt.

Second-up after a debut 4th of 12 at Nakayama over 1800m (55kg) on sloppy going, beaten 10.5L at $15 when closing from well back. Draws barrier 7 after jumping from 5 there and sticks with Kyosuke Maruta; natural improvement at the trip would hold him in good stead.

Third-up after a 70-day freshen, he returns off Fukushima efforts at 2000m (10th/16, 4.68L, SP 34) and 1800m (7th/9, 5.45L, SP 61), both on GOOD. Draws barrier 8 again with Shu Ishibashi, and his lone 1800m run provides a sensible platform to hold a spot and improve with racing.

Third-up and coming off a career-best 2nd at Nakayama over 1800m two weeks ago, beaten 2L on a sloppy track at $3.9 after racing handy from barrier 11. Draws better in 9 and stays at 55kg with the same rider-trainer combination that has delivered his only placing, which sets up well for him to hold form.
