Nakayama Race 7 - Allowance Race
Looks a race in two. PLAUDITS (4) drifted back then closed strongly to score as favourite on debut over 2000m at this track three months ago and has not been produced since. Has plenty of upside and leading rider stays aboard. Should go on with it. RADIANT STAR (2) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 2000m at Listed level at Kyoto. Fitter and this easier. Main threat. MEINER MASTER (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fifth in a 2200m contest at this track three weeks ago. Has the ability to find the winners' list. GRAN ALTO (3) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 2200m at this track, beaten 14 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Last start second last of 8 at this track on February 28 over 2200m, 14 len behind Noble Savage carrying 57.0kg at $15.80. The start before that won by a neck at this track January 11 over 2200m defeating Rey Historico with 57.0kg at $9.50. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when favourite; won by 1.75 len at this track December 20 over 2000m defeating Lambrusco with 55.0kg at $2.30. Gave a start but ran right away with a big win on debut. Leading rider stays aboard. Anticipating a bright start to this prep.
