Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
MOON GRAIL (4) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the turn, finishing a head from the winner in second at the end of 1600m at Niigata. Heading the right way and is sure to run well. COSMO CLASSIC (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1600m at Niigata. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. YUMESHIRUBE (3) finished second last start over 1800m at Niigata, beaten 1.3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. I'M STILL ME (8) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1800m at Sapporo, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to run well again.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 10th of 12 at Niigata on August 31 over 1800m, 11 len behind Garofano with 55.0kg at $250.70. Needs to do a lot more than he did on debut.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, raced on the pace before fading to run last of 7 at Hakodate on July 12 over 1800m, 15 len behind Marga with 55.0kg at $57.70. Last start 3rd of 8 at Sapporo on August 2 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Just Beat with 55.0kg at $37.20. Solid claims.
