Niigata Race 6 - Maiden Race
KOIOS TESORO (7) sets the standard after a close 2nd at Niigata over 1800m on 3 May, beaten 0.5L after racing handy, and earlier placed 3rd at Nakayama over this trip. ULTRA HEART (6) appeals as the main danger with 2nd at Niigata over 1800m then a 0.6L 3rd at Kyoto last start, both at this distance. MY COLOR (10) is in the mix off a Chukyo 1900m 2nd by 0.3L and a solid 4th at Hanshin over 1800m. CHROME CROSS (4) improved sharply when 4th at Niigata over 1800m last week and can figure again from a soft draw.
