Nakayama Race 3 - Maiden Race
ARABIAN DREAM (14) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1800m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. LUCKY SWITCH (3) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished 11th over 2000m at Nakayama. Opened last prep with a minor placing at Nakayama over 2000m. Bold showing expected. MEINER ZELOS (2) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. I'M STILL ME (1) finished second last time over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with top-three claims again.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last of 16 at Kokura on January 24 over 1800m, 24 len behind Arvand Rud carrying 57.0kg at $102.10. Second run from a spell made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Tokyo Dirt on February 15 over 2100m, 2.5 len behind Excel Crown with 57.0kg at $71.70. Can improve. Top chance if at his best.

Second-up ran last of 17 at Kyoto on February 14 over 1800m, 24 len behind Black Shalimar carrying 57.0kg at $182.60. Doesn't pose too much of a threat today.
