Nakayama Race 2 - Mdn Race
ARDE RUSH (1) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Niigata. Led until the dying stages and run over late on debut. Likely improver who should go well. Y'S JEWEL (10) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1200m at Niigata, finishing fifth and beaten 2.75 lengths. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. YVES NUMBER FOUR (14) stepped out for her debut over 1200m at Fukushima back on July 5 and finished seventh, beaten 3 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement. FOREVER BLUE (9) finished second last time over 1000m at Niigata, beaten a nose. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Tokyo on June 13 over 1400m, 9 len behind Demian carrying 52.0kg at $89.30. Last start 2nd of 11 at Niigata on August 1 over 1000m, nose behind Estrella Bonita with 53.0kg at $18.10. This race is well within her grasp.
