Nakayama Race 9 - Habotan Sho
LITTLE GIANTS (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 2000m at Tokyo. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he can go on with it. GOLTZSCHTAL (1) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 2000m at Chukyo 12 weeks ago and has not raced since. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. VINCENTIO (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 2000m at Niigata three months ago and has not appeared since. Has upside and is well-placed to feature again. SHONAN SOMEDAY (11) finished fourth when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Tokyo. One of the key chances.
