Nakayama Race 5 - Maiden Race
YAMANIN ALEXIS (13) has been in the placings at his last two, most recently when second over 1600m at this track at his third run back from a break. Should be positioned just off the lead. Will play a major role. VEGARIA (3) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1600m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. MOON GRAIL (15) is a six-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Chukyo. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. RED FREEMAN (5) is on debut. By Daiwa Major and comes from the Masahiro Otake stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 16 at this track on March 14 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Ho O Ginga carrying 57.0kg at $3.30. The start before that came from midfield; 2nd of 16 at Tokyo on February 14 over 1400m, head behind Sunday Smash with 57.0kg at $14.30. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
