Nagoya Race 2 - Race 2 - 1500
BEBEK PEPPER (10) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in ninth over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. NAMURA LILAC (8) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when she was 13th over 1800m at Niigata. Ideally placed and in a suitable assignment. BIOTOP (5) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1800m at Tokyo when she finished 13th. This is her first run for the Manabu Kurachi stable. Has found the right race and is worth including. COMPLEX (7) finished fifth last start over 920m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Among the chances.
