Nakayama Race 4 - Maiden Race
ALTITUDE (13) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Nakayama over 2000m. Can make a winning return in what looks a very shallow maiden. MEISHO KOBE (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1800m at this track. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. The logical danger. HO O SANSAR (1) didn't do a lot on debut three weeks ago, finishing 11 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1800m at this track. Will take a lot from that experience and is worth each-way consideration. ASKCOMMENTALLEZVOU (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in fifth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Capable of a top four finish in this company.

Colt back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation seventh of 18 at Nakayama January 6 over 2000m, 3 len behind Meiner Zeus carrying 57.0kg at $2. When resuming last campaign second of 18 at Nakayama December 15 over 2000m, a neck behind Swallow City with 56.0kg at $2. Likely to play a major role.
