Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
FUKUCHAN SHO (8) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at Fukushima. Ready for a bold run. LONDON ORBITAL (11) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when in the firing line on the bend, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at Hakodate. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YUKINO SCIENCE (2) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1200m at Fukushima when third, beaten 3 lengths. Handy draw will assist so she should be in the finish. MOONLIT RAIN (16) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1200m at Chukyo. Open to plenty of improvement. Not to be discounted.
