Nakayama Race 11 - The Nikkei Sho(G2)

MY UNIVERSE (15) scored by 3.5 lengths last time out and is unbeaten this distance at this track. Hard to knock form and expected to go close. COSMO KURANDA (7) finished second at the elite level at this track and distance at his last appearance three months ago. Resuming in easier grade. Can get the job done. MIKUNI INSPIRE (1) is back after a break of three months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and two placings from five starts. Looks a strong top-three prospect. ROUSHAM PARK (14) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 14, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 2000m in the G1 Longines Hong Kong Cup at Sha Tin. Boasts a first-up record of four wins and four placings from 15 starts. Goes well here and suited this easier grade. Excellent chance.
