Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
BLACK MUSE (4) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last run at Hanshin and having second career run. Has the ability to take this out. LYRICAL FLAIR (7) Threw down a serious challenge last start at Tokyo and having second race start. Will be there at the finish. DOLCE TESORO (1) Was strong late when 2nd last start at Fukushima and drawn beautifully. Expecting to settle positively. Genuine winning chance. TAGANO CARRANCA (8) Peaked in the run home when 4th last run at Fukushima and was on debut last time. Will be positive in the run early. Capable of better.

Started at $12.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last time at Fukushima but fitter for debut run. Has plenty of early speed. Gets a favourable gate. Will need everything to go right.

Was $61.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 11th last time at Fukushima but fitter for debut run. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Down in distance. Will need to elevate.

Odds of $8.00 and didn't stay in touch when 4th last run at Fukushima and fitter for debut run. Won't be far away during the run. Watch for a sign in the market.

At $67.00 came in 7th last time at Tokyo but fitter for debut run. Likely to get back in the run. Appears tested in this event.

Jumped at $14.00 and ran 8th last start at Fukushima but having second career run. Likely to settle back in the field. Overlook from a betting angle.
