Nakayama Race 5 - Nakayama 3Yo Allowance
GRIANMHAR (9) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a win. Is at the races for the first time since he finished third over 1400m at Tokyo on February 14. Has good ability and leading rider goes aboard. Expected to go close. MARGOT BLOW (7) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 5 lengths behind Diamond Knot over 1400m in the G3 Falcon Stakes at Chukyo. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give a great sight. ROUGE BLITZ (3) has not been sighted since she finished ninth over 1400m at Tokyo on February 14. Everything points to a big run. WING BLUE (2) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 15 lengths at big odds. Has a high cruising speed. Sure to be thereabouts.
