Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
NINJA TOTTORI (15) finished second last time out over 1200m at this track, making it two career minor placings. Has recorded two top-three finishes from three runs at this venue. Looks ready for that breakthrough win. BELLE OCEAN (4) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1200m. Nicely placed to take this out. UNIVERSAL LOVE (1) has not raced since her debut on December 27 over 1200m at this track when she finished fourth, beaten 8 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature. BEAR GO FOR (16) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.
