Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
ETINCELLE (7) made his debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab third, beaten 2 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. DANCING AWAY (5) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth after being prominent at the corner at his most recent outing over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Starting to put it all together and is likely to be in the finish. LOGI KRIS S (2) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Didn't come up last time in work but ran a cracker on debut last September over 1600m at Nakayama. Strong chance on that effort. MUSCULATION (14) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1800m at Tokyo, beaten 8 lengths at very long odds. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw and can improve sharply.

Last start failed to make an impression; 6th of 10 at Kyoto Dirt on February 15 over 1800m, 10 len behind Gaura Disco with 57.0kg at $38.20. Before that 10th of 15 at this track on January 24 over 1800m, 14 len behind Take On Me carrying 57.0kg at $41.50. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.

Second-up. First-up after three months raced on the pace before fading 10th of 16 at Tokyo on February 15 over 1800m, 8 len behind Nac White carrying 57.0kg at $65.60. Previously second-up 10th of 12 at Tokyo on November 8 over 2000m, 10 len behind Green Energy carrying 56.0kg at $37.60. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
