Niigata Race 3 - Mdn Race
Not a lot separates the top three chances. SOUND CHERIE (10) showed good early speed last start on debut but felt the pinch late and finished fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1600m at Chukyo. Open to improvement and looks the primary contender. NORDHAUSEN (2) has not raced since his debut back on June 13 when he finished fourth over 1400m at Tokyo. Expected to be very competitive with that race experience now on board. AUALII (8) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing a long neck from the winner in third over 1600m at this track. Has ability and must be respected. HO O BELIEVE (6) raced once in the maiden preparation when tenth at Tokyo over 1800m back on June 21. One for the exotics.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 7th of 15 at this track on August 15 over 1400m, 6 len behind Kanaderu Pegasus carrying 55.0kg at $153.50. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, 11th of 13 at this track on August 2 over 1600m, 7 len behind Nishino Toranosuke with 53.0kg at $71. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, 12th of 14 at Fukushima on June 28 over 1800m, 10 len behind Win Wagner carrying 55.0kg at $70.40. Second-up 7th of 13 at this track on August 16 over 1600m, 4 len behind Satono Supremacy carrying 55.0kg at $123. Unlikely to threaten.
