Nakayama Race 6 - Maiden Race
SIGIRIYA ROCK (2) closed last prep 12 weeks ago when he finished fourth over 2000m at this track. Charged home form last and just missed the frame. Sure to prove tough to stop. PLAY THE LEAD (6) improved last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 2400m at Tokyo after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HOPEFUL WORLD (10) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 2000m after being in contention on the bend. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. JACKET POCKET (14) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 2000m at this track. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Fukushima over 2000m. Has ability so don't underestimate.
