Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
SANONO KISEKI (4) Missed by a narrow margin last time at Fukushima. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Appears as a winning threat. SCHNEEBALLEN (6) Did well to run 3rd beaten by 2 3/4L last run at Fukushima and going over extra ground. Been in the money each start this campaign. Appears well in this. ECORO TERRA (3) Kept chasing when 4th last time at Fukushima and fitter for debut run. Going over more ground. One at a bit of odds. DESERT SPIRIT (9) Gave a strong sight when 2nd last time at Tokyo and was on debut last time. Should muster plenty of early toe. Follow market leads.

Was $15.00 and ordinary when 7th last run at Tokyo but fitter for debut run. Might be ridden for luck. Drawn well. Hard to warm to.

Odds of $51.00 and gave away some ground when 10th last start at Fukushima but having second career run. Expected to settle towards the tail. Facing a rise in trip. Appears tested in this event.

Odds of $41.00 and outmatched in the closing stages of the race when 4th last time at Tokyo and having second race start. Won't be far away during the run. Prefer to watch.

Zipped home into 3rd last run at Fukushima and facing an increased distance. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Jumped at $81.00 and ran 7th last time at Fukushima but was on debut last time. Might have to make up considerable ground. Racing over extra ground. Much prefer the look of others in this race.

Was $10.00 and moved ahead of some to finish 5th last time at Tokyo and fitter for debut run. Has some claims.

Odds of $41.00 and came in 10th last time at Fukushima but fitter for debut run. Gets back and needs luck. Rising in distance. Very unlikely to cause an upset.
