Nakayama Race 4 - Maiden Race
Looks a race in two, maybe three. INDY VINE (9) made a strong move before the turn then stuck on well to finish second on debut last start over 1800m at this track. Likely improver who will be hard to beat. GOLD PLAYER (3) raced in a forward position but found the winner far too good on debut last time out over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Jumps from a good draw so he should be in the finish again. RIKEA MACARONI (5) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1800m at this track. Looks the only other hope in the race. TOKUSHI ZEPHYR (6) is a three-year-old colt who lines up for the first time. From a very strong family, being by Makfi from I Am No Kokoro. Meets a couple of smart ones but can sneak into the frame.

Was well in the market at debut, came from midfield; 2nd of 16 at this track on January 17 over 1800m, neck behind Gamla Stan carrying 54.0kg at $4.80. Encouraging signs on debut and another big run is likely.
