Niigata Race 11 - The Niigata Nisai Stakes(G3)
REALIZE SIRIUS (9) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1600m at Tokyo ten weeks ago and has not raced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. FESTIVAL HILL (4) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1600m at Hanshin nine weeks ago and has not raced since. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. SANONO GREATER (7) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1600m at Tokyo nine weeks ago and has not appeared since. Likely improver with bright prospects again. HILDEGRIM (5) won on debut last time out four weeks ago over 1600m at this track, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Deserves serious consideration.

Freshened since claiming her maiden victory on debut; won by a head at Fukushima June 28 over 1200m defeating Iikuni Passion carrying 55.0kg at $2.90. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, won by 1.75 len at Fukushima July 6 over 1200m defeating Taisei Fresa with 55.0kg at $43.10. Last start 6th of 9 at this track on August 9 over 1400m, 5 len behind Happy Angel with 55.0kg at $27.60. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
