Nakayama Race 4 - Maiden Race
GOLD PLAYER (12) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at this track over 1800m. Has a high cruising speed. Two good runs from two starts and can get off the mark this time. MASATCHE HAMMER (9) stepped out for his debut over 1800m at Tokyo back on June 21 and finished sixth, beaten 6 lengths. Solid run in a stronger race then put away again. Capable of sharp improvement. SPINNING GLOBE (2) raced once in the maiden preparation when ninth at Nakayama over 1600m back on January 18. Fair run from a wide gate on debut then put away again. Can improve sharply. SAKURA D'OR (11) stepped out for his debut over 1800m at this track back on December 13 and finished seventh, beaten 17 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.

Third-up today. First-up 10th of 15 at Tokyo Dirt on February 10 over 1400m, 14 len behind Bare Handed Catch carrying 57.0kg at $9.60. Second run from a spell raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 9 at Funabashi on March 12 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind El Rio carrying 56kg at $5.40. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Second-up second last of 13 at Tokyo Dirt on February 15 over 2100m, 28 len behind Excel Crown carrying 57.0kg at $103.10. Not doing enough to threaten the top few today.
