Nakayama Race 11 - The Nakayama Grand Jump(J . G1)
ECORO DUEL (6) was very good when returning from a layoff most recently, beaten a nose into second in a G2 steeplechase (3900m) at Hanshin. Twice a Grade 1 winner and is clearly the one to beat in what would be his main target this prep. HO O PUROSANGUE (3) is ready to tackle a better race after he scored in a steeplechase (3140m) at Hanshin at his latest appearance on March 28. Has been tested at G1 level but yet to prove himself. Coming along well and is capable of taking this out. DINASTA (10) returned from a spell last start with a win in a G2 steeplechase (3900m) at Hanshin with today's rider Takada aboard. Back in good order and looks likely to feature. NEVIIM (7) could only manage to finish sixth 35 days back in a G2 steeplechase (3900m) at Hanshin. That result was on the back of a solid second in a G1 steeplechase (4100m) at this track two starts ago. Cannot be dismissed.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start ran last at Hanshin in the G2 on March 14 over 3900m, 46 len behind Dinasta with 58.0kg at $232.30. Run before finished 11th of 12 starters at Kokura on January 24 over 3390m, 37 len behind T M Magic with 58.0kg at $206.60. Recent form not good enough to consider.

Second-up today. First-up after three months raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by a nose this track on March 21 over 3350m defeating Pietersite carrying 60.0kg at $7.90 in a steeplechase. Previously second-up finished third of 9 runners at this track on January 5 over 3200m, 2.5 len behind Container World with 59.0kg at $12. In form, but this a much tougher race than last outing. Prefer to see.

Racing second-up today. Not raced for 42 days. Last outing came from midfield and won by 2.5 len this track on March 7 over 3200m defeating Meisho Sommelier carrying 61.0kg at $12.60 in a steeplechase. At only start last preparation finished fifth of 10 starters at this track in the G1 on December 27 over 4100m, 17 len behind Ecoro Duel carrying 63.0kg at $73.60. Inform, but this a much tougher race than last outing. Prefer others.

Racing second-up today. Last run made some head-way from midfield; finished sixth of 10 starters at Hanshin in the G2 on March 14 over 3900m, 9 len behind Dinasta with 60.0kg at $3.10. At only start last preparation rolled along in front setting the pace and then edged out finished second of 10 runners at this track in the G1 on December 27 over 4100m, 5 len behind Ecoro Duel carrying 63.0kg at $3.70. Definite chance. Worth consideration.

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last campaign ran last at this track in the G1 on December 27 over 4100m, 21 len behind Ecoro Duel with 63.0kg at $206.10.
