Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
NAUSET (12) Attacked the line when 2nd beaten by 3L last run here and having second race start. One of the top hopes. DESPAIR HOPE (2) Peaked on the run when 4th last start at Fukushima and having second career run. Displays good tactical speed. Gets a favourable draw. Will give a big sight. COOL STRUTTIN' (7) Came in 5th last time at this track. Can show a better performance this time and going up in trip. Will be positive in the run early. Worth consideration. COOL BOBBY (6) Picked up some late ground when 5th last run at the track. Always seems to find the line well. Don't overlook.

At $21.00 ran 6th last run at Fukushima but was a debutant last start. Does take a while to get into stride. Gets the perfect draw. Betting is the best guide.

Started at $11.00 and overrun in the run home when 4th last start at Fukushima and fitter for debut run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Capable type.

Started $26.00 and clearly outclassed when 8th last run here but having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Prefer in something easier.

Resumes after a spell. Odds of $101.00 and average performance when 9th last run at Tokyo but having second race start. Likely to get back. This is a tough race.

Odds of $51.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 9th last start around here but having second career run. Likely to get back in the run. Considerable improvement needed.

Jumped at $5.00 and ran 5th last time at this venue. Can show a better performance this time and stepping up in distance. Has early speed and positions nicely. Capable of winning this.

Back from a break. At $67.00 faded away to finish 8th last time at Tokyo but having second career run. Much prefer the look of others in this race.
