Nakayama Race 2 - Mdn Race
SHOOT THE WORKS (8) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1800m at Niigata. Close to a win and gets chance. TEXAS (3) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at Niigata. Can open winning account this time. WINNER'S CHECK (7) finished second last start over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten a neck. Likely improver with winning claims. MEINER RICHARD (2) was fair on debut last time out when sixth over 1600m at Niigata. Should appreciate the extra ground. Worth including.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, got back early 5th of 10 at Sapporo on August 2 over 1800m, 7 len behind Ho O Prema carrying 55.0kg at $68.50. Second-up settled back and ran on when 7th of 12 at Sapporo Dirt on August 22 over 1700m, 17 len behind To The Final with 55.0kg at $26.90. Likely to find this a bit tough.
