Nakayama Race 3 - Nakayama 3Yo Maiden Wfa
LIFE GATE (10) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 0.8 lengths away in second at this track. In the right race and is a key runner. ON CLOUD NINE (9) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. DU MAVERICK (5) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 2200m at Nakayama, beaten 11 lengths at long odds. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. SMART KAIROS (7) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Y Yahagi. By Sinister Minister from Smart Babel. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Going well. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 at this track on March 30 over 1800m, 0.8 len behind Grace The Crown carrying 57.0kg at $4.50. The race before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 4th of 16 at this track on March 15 over 1800m, 0.6 len behind Namura Jimmy with 57.0kg at $28.30. Going well enough to take this out.
