Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
JASPER REVE (8) sets the standard second up after a Hanshin 1200m 2nd last start, beaten 0.5L after leading from barrier 9 and sticks to the trip. STELLA VENTO (7) is a key threat second up off a Chukyo 1200m debut 3rd, 1.55L, racing on-speed. NANA LEI (6) is second up and comes off a Nakayama 1200m 4th, 5.35L at long odds, suggesting improvement at this trip. NISHINO ATOLL (5) is third up and brings a Nakayama 1200m 3rd, 3.6L when leading, which reads well for a similar assignment.

Debuted over 1600m at Chukyo when 5th of 10, beaten 1.7L after racing handy throughout at $2.5. Second-up here from barrier 1 with 56kg and a 400m drop to 1200m, which sets up a different test. With that experience and the inside draw, he can settle prominently again and give a sight.

Third-up and dropping 600m back to the sprint trip with 51kg, she also draws an inside barrier (2) after racing forward then fading over 1800m at Sapporo on 1 Aug when 6th of 9, 5.55L behind Geo at $23. That run came off a tough debut at Fukushima when 9th of 16 over 1800m at $91, so this sharper setup could help her find a more economical rhythm. A light weight and soft draw give her a chance to show improvement.

Fourth-up and drawn barrier 3, she was handy throughout when 3rd at Hakodate over 1200m on 11 Jul (54kg, SP 41) before two Sapporo runs where she faded, latest 7th of 11 on 5 Sep over 1200m (51kg, SP 21) behind Mihatenu Yume. Back up to 53kg here and with a more favourable gate than those recent Sapporo efforts, a forward showing is possible if she can hold a spot.

Fourth-up and back 300m to 1200m, he draws better in barrier 4 and rises 3kg to 56kg. His best run this prep was a 3rd at Hakodate over 1000m (GOOD) beaten 4.25L at $3.25, and he was $4.5 when 5th over 1200m next start. With a softer gate than last time, he has the setup to hold a handy spot and improve.

Third-up and coming off a solid 3rd at Nakayama over 1200m 25 days ago, racing on speed before boxing on 3.6L behind Butterfly at $13. Steps up to 56kg but draws better in barrier 5 after jumping from 10 last time, and his 1200m placing suggests this trip suits. Genuine chance to hold a forward spot and give a sight.

Second-up and returns to 1200m after a solid 4th at Nakayama over 1200m 25 days ago, beaten 5.35L at $61 on yielding going after improving from midfield. Draws barrier 6 (up from 3 last time) with 55kg and reunites with Genki Maruyama, and her recent sprint run suggests this trip suits better than the Tokyo mile where she was 9th two back. A repeat of her latest effort keeps her in the mix for a placing.

Debuted at Chukyo over 1200m, boxing on for 3rd of 7, 1.55L off Seiun My Love at $10 under 55kg after racing handy throughout. She returns second-up after 63 days and draws barrier 7 (up from 2), with Ryou Takakura sticking. With that experience at the trip, she can be competitive again.

Promising debut at Hanshin over 1200m, racing on speed from barrier 9 and finishing 2nd by 0.5L under 55kg at $12 behind Impulse Drive. Second-up here after 28 days with the same rider and a slightly better draw in barrier 8, and her distance record (1:0-1-0) aligns well with today’s setup.

Second-up after a solid debut at Nakayama over 1200m, where she sat 5th/3rd/4th from a wide gate (13) and finished 4th of 16, 4.25L off Silver Norida at $26 carrying 55kg. Draws better today with barrier 9 and keeps Daichi Shibata; that debut run suggests she can hold a handy spot and build on it.

First-up after 98 days with a light 53kg, he draws barrier 10 and reunites with Seiya Morita. His latest run was a much-improved 5th/12 at Kokura over 1200m on 11 Jul, beaten 3.75L at $251 carrying 52kg after settling midfield, suggesting he can be competitive with a similar run.

Second-up after a 42-day break, she drops 3kg to 52kg and comes back 300m from her Sapporo 1500m debut. That first run saw her lead early before fading to 12th of 14 at $151, beaten 14.3L by Schwarze Perle. The lighter weight and shorter trip offer a more suitable setup to build on that experience.

Third-up after 77 days, he was a 6th at Niigata over 1000m on 1 Aug (GOOD) beaten 1.26L at $61 carrying 55kg after settling around midfield. Prior run he was 6th of 16 at Fukushima over 1200m on 19 Jul (GOOD) beaten 6.56L at $101 from a wide gate. Up 1kg to 56kg with a 200m rise in trip and a wide barrier 12, he’ll need to offset the draw but his latest effort was a step forward.

First-up after 84 days, she resumes at 55kg from barrier 13 with Arata Saitou aboard. Her two 1200m runs last prep were 7th at Kokura (51 SP, 6L) and 8th at Chukyo (29 SP, 14.8L), and the wide alley is a tougher draw than last time; needs to lift on those efforts.
