Nakayama Race 2 - Maiden Race
AOHARU BLUES (5) made progress last time out but was no match for a tearaway winner at the end of 1800m at this track after looking a chance on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GUARDIAN TALE (14) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1800m at this track. Nicely placed and expected to kick the prep off in a positive manner. ADMIRE ULTRA (12) returns after 12 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 14th over 2000m at Nakayama. Should be ready to run a bold race. LORD LUIRE (10) is a nicely bred three-year-old colt on debut. By Just A Way from Vouivre who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. All set to make a positive start to his career.
