Nakayama Race 11 - Chiba Stakes

ECORO AZEL (14) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Tokyo Dirt at the beginning of last prep. Has recorded four wins when first up from a break. Loves the trip and likely to feature. DRAGON WELDS (10) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Won only try course and distance and goes very well fresh. Bold performance expected. MEISHO HOREN (12) is having his first run since December 7. Has a very good fresh record, scoring three times including one over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt at the start of last prep. Winning chance while fresh. A TRACKS (7) improved last time out, finishing a neck from the winner in second over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 56 day let-up. At the latest run won by a nose at this track January 25 over 1200m defeating Wanderer carrying 58.0kg at $4.50. The run before that 2nd of 16 at Kyoto Dirt on January 5 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Hiruno De Gaulle carrying 58.0kg at $4.60. Can get the job done again.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 11th of 16 at Chukyo Dirt on December 21 over 1400m, 7 len behind Danon Figo carrying 58.0kg at $94.90. When resuming last campaign ran last of 15 at Niigata Dirt on August 17 over 1200m, 11 len behind Kurojishi Joe with 56.0kg at $8.90. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
