Nakayama Race 5 - Maiden Race
I'M IN (11) finished second, beaten 2 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Tokyo after he was prominent throughout the run. In the right race and is a huge chance to go one better. YAMANIN ALEXIS (4) wound up strongly last time out to finish a head adrift in second over 1400m at Tokyo. Should settle closer in the run this time stepping back up to 1600m. Likely to feature in the finish again. REPUNIT (9) was well fancied last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Finds the right race and is worth another chance. YUMA HAM (2) has not raced since his debut back on June 15 when he finished fifth over 1600m at Tokyo. Likely improver this time in work.
