Nakayama Race 10 - Junior Cup(L)
SHIN FOREVER (8) improved last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at Tokyo after being in contention on the corner. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. FANDOM (9) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1600m at this track four months ago and has not been produced since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. MONDO DELL'AMORE (10) closed last prep four-and-a-half months ago when he finished fourth over 1800m at Sapporo. This sets up nicely. WORTH (6) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1600m at Chukyo when resuming from a spell, beaten a neck. Will trim down second-up. Capable of another top-three outcome.

Useful colt. At the latest run favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Kyoto December 8 over 1600m defeating Sexy Marge carrying 56.0kg at $1.10. The race before that 2nd of 12 at Kyoto on October 26 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Ai Sansan carrying 56.0kg at $3.20. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.

Comes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 10 at Tokyo on November 24 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Dianasaal with 56.0kg at $7.30. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 6th of 14 at Tokyo in the G2 Keio Hai Nisai Stakes on November 2 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Panja Tower with 56.0kg at $16.90. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.
