Kokura Race 5 - Maiden Race
NORI MARU (7) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Hayato Yoshida has registered three minor placings when on board and rides today. Expecting another bold showing. NOMBRE D'OR (6) has made a decent start to his career. Managed to find the placings at Chukyo two starts back before finishing seventh over 2000m at this track last time. Should be in the mix. MIENO STRONG (5) was well fancied last start over 2000m at Chukyo when ninth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Great chance to atone. SPARTAN X (1) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 2000m at Hanshin. Everything points to a big run.
