Nakayama Race 6 - Maiden Race
VENT D'ESPERANCE (4) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten only one length. Nicely placed to take this out. KASHIMA RAIFU (10) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 1800m at this track. Good chance to break through. A BIENTOT (8) stepped out for his debut over 1800m at Tokyo back on January 31 and finished tenth, beaten 6 lengths. Expect there is more to offer than that - can improve sharply. QUAD FORZA (3) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1800m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.
