Niigata Race 3 - Mdn Race
ECORO MAJOR (6) appeals most, having already run 2nd over 1200m and placed again at 1150m, suggesting the trip suits. AIDAN BAROWS (4) looks the main danger dropping back to 1200m after a 4th and 7th at 1400m, with the debut effort beaten only 3.02L. COME TRUE (2) is in the mix after a 3rd at 1200m at Kyoto, holding a recent fitness edge. COPANO CAMPAIGN (12) can run on for a share with two respectable 1200m efforts this prep, but needs to bridge a few lengths. Narrow lean to ECORO MAJOR (6).

Second up and draws the inside after jumping from 10 last time. Debuted over 1600m here on 22 Aug and finished 12th of 12, beaten 22.9L at $151.00. The shorter 1200m and the rail draw give her a more suitable set-up to improve.

Third up and back to 1200m after finishing 7th of 10 over 1400m at Hanshin on 6 Sep, beaten 5.51L at $11.00. The freshening run pattern suggests the shorter trip could suit at Niigata. With Akatsuki Tomita staying on, a tidy step forward is possible.

First up after three months, the colt brings a solid debut where he was 2nd of 9 over 1200m at Chukyo on 25 Jul, beaten 2.5L at $6.00. Stays at the trip and sticks with Yuji Tannai, which reads well for a similar assignment. Progressive profile and a repeat of that effort would see him competitive.

Draws better with barrier 7 after coming from 13 last time, which can help secure a cleaner run. Junji Shimada stays aboard for Yasuo Takeichi. Needs improvement but the kinder gate offers scope to progress.

First up after about 3 months and brings recent form of placed in 2 of last 3. Last seen at Sapporo over 1000m on 26 Jul when 10th of 12, beaten 13.4L at $3.80, so the 1200m here is a different set-up. Ryuto Yokoyama sticks with this colt for Shota Nishizono. Capable of better than that latest result and can be competitive fresh.

Solid on debut at Kyoto over 1200m on 11 Oct, finishing 4th of 15 at $15.00 in 71.8s and beaten 8L on a standard track. Stays at 1200m and switches to Niigata, which can suit a colt with that grounding. With Nana Kawaharada booked, can build on that initial effort. Balanced claims off a credible first run.
