Nakayama Race 3 - Maiden Race
TSUKUBA VANGUARD (8) is in the right form, last time out finishing second over 1200m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. LORD TRIDENT (5) started at $8.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MASANO PINK LADY (2) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Debuted with a third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1200m at this track at her only appearance to date. This sets up nicely. KARAKURI SPIRITS (16) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth over 1200m at this track last time out. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
