Nakayama Race 3 - Maiden Race
MR TONTON (10) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Expect he has come on over the break. Sure to go very well. NINJA TOTTORI (6) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. MOZU TANQUE (2) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Toru Kurita. By Mozu Ascot from G Plumeria. Respect any positive move in betting. NOBU STEP (13) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1200m at Hanshin. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
