Nakayama Race 3 - Maiden Race
SEKITEI LINO (11) has led and found one better at both runs this time in. Close to a win and will take catching. PURE EMBLEM (4) kept coming and fought on well for fourth on debut before another break. Resumes in easier and looks a definite winning hope. JUST MY WAY (8) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1600m at Tokyo. Among the chances while fresh. GOLDEN DAGGER (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 2000m at Tokyo. Has upside and worth including.
