Niigata Race 2 - Maiden Race
SCHWARZSCHILD (14) sets the standard after a strong 2nd at Nakayama over 1200m, beaten 1.75L when leading. NAMURA RODIN (12) rates the main danger with recent 1200m placings at Hanshin (2nd then 3rd) and a solid 4th over 1400m last start. FEEL MY PLAN (3) is in the mix back to 1200m after a Nakayama 1200m 3rd two starts ago and a fair 5th at Fukushima. FLUORITE (4) can run well dropping back to 1200m, having placed 3rd at the trip at Nakayama.
