Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
MALTESE DON (8) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when 0.7 lengths away in third over 1600m at Niigata. Has a strong finish. Can get off the mark this time. SHINE FOR ME (7) raced once in the maiden preparation when fifth at Hakodate over 1200m back on June 21. Will have a lot more to offer this time. NISHINO CHARME (10) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when eighth at Fukushima over 1800m, beaten 9 lengths. Has upside and worth including. TENYU (3) raced once in the maiden preparation when seventh at Tokyo over 1600m back on June 7. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, second last of 12 at Hakodate on June 22 over 1200m, 9 len behind Crodestina with 55.0kg at $41. Last start ran last in a small field at Niigata on July 27 over 1800m, 8 len behind Zoroastro with 52.0kg at $52.50. Not keen on her prospects.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 11th of 13 at Niigata on August 24 over 1600m, 13 len behind Rouge Dahlia with 52.0kg at $157. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
