Nakayama Race 9 - Mimosa Sho
BENVENUTA (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1800m at this track three-and-a-half months ago and has not appeared since. Will take beating again fresh. RUN THE WORLD (5) impressed when successful on debut over 2000m at this track 11 weeks ago and has not appeared since. Went back from a wide gate but circled and was too good. Can go on to better things this campaign. DONA RUMBA (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1800m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to figure in the finish. SEPT ETOILES (7) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance when resuming from a layoff last start. No reason she cannot salute again.

Resuming after a break; only one run when won by a nose at Nakayama Dirt January 10 over 1800m defeating Ange Reine carrying 52.0kg at $13.80. Win would surprise.

Resuming after a break; only one run when raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2 len at this track December 13 over 1800m defeating Blackish carrying 55.0kg at $17. On speed and too good on debut before another spell. Will take beating again fresh.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Last start 4th of 9 at this track on February 28 over 1800m, 5 len behind Florecer with 55.0kg at $30.10. The start before that 6th of 12 at this track on January 25 over 1800m, 6 len behind Blaenavon carrying 55.0kg at $16.80. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when won by 1.0 len at this track January 10 over 2000m defeating Inthanon carrying 55.0kg at $6.10. Went back from a wide gate on debut but circled and was too good. Can go on to better things this campaign.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; won by 1.5 len at Tokyo Dirt February 21 over 1600m defeating Lupo carrying 55.0kg at $64.60. Can't dismiss winning form but will find this tougher.
