Niigata Race 1 - Maiden Race
PIERCE (6) brings the most consistent recent form, finishing 5th at Fukushima over 1800m last start, beaten just 1.65L, and was also 5th at Chukyo over 2000m two runs back. HAUTE QUALITE (1) was 4th at Fukushima over this trip last start, beaten 3L in a field of 16. MIZUNO MIYAKO (15) has a 2nd at Nakayama over 2000m three starts ago but needs to rebound from a disappointing last run. OMOIO NOSETE (16) was 4th at Kokura over 2000m two back and 7th at Hanshin last start. These runners look best suited on exposed form.
