Nakayama Race 11 - The Lord Derby Challenge Trophy(G3)
FERVENT (8) is back from a spell of three months. Was narrowly beaten at his only appearance when last in work in the G3 Sports Nippon Sho Kyoto Kimpai over 1600m. Should park just off the speed and looks sure to be in the finish. MINI TRANSAT (2) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by a head over today's journey at Kyoto. Goes well over this journey with four wins and one minor placing. Twice placed at this level and can measure up again. BUENA ONDA (5) raced handy but tired badly and finished 15th last time out at Gr 3 level over 1600m at Tokyo, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a win in a Grade 3 on the CV. Should bounce back. SIRIUS COLT (15) was unplaced two runs back then was only a length away last start at Gr 3 level over 1600m at Tokyo. Going okay and can figure in the finish again.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign 2nd of 18 at Kyoto in the G3 Sports Nippon Sho Kyoto Kimpai on January 4 over 1600m, head behind Buena Onda carrying 56.0kg at $11.30.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Freshened for 41 days. First-up 12th of 14 at this track in the G3 Nikkan Sports Sho Nakayama Kimpai on January 4 over 2000m, 5 len behind Kalamatianos with 57.0kg at $6.70. Second run from a spell tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 16 at Kokura in the G3 Kokura Daishoten on February 22 over 1800m, neck behind Tagano Dude carrying 57.0kg at $5.50. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.

Comes here off a 53-day let-up. Last start 5th of 16 at Tokyo in the G3 Tokyo Shimbun Hai on February 10 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Trovatore carrying 58.0kg at $31.20. Before that second last of 14 at this track in the G3 Nikkan Sports Sho Nakayama Kimpai on January 4 over 2000m, 5 len behind Kalamatianos carrying 58.5kg at $13.60. Can improve on that reasonable effort last time out.
