Nakayama Race 4 - Mdn Race
COUCHER DE SOLEIL (6) was prominent in running on debut three-and-a-half months ago and battled on well for third over 1600m at Tokyo. Has not been produced since. Likely improver and should be in the finish again. CAPITAL STONE (4) wasn't far away in two runs during his maiden prep, the latest a second over 1800m at Fukushima ten weeks ago. Re-unites with Takuya Ono and can break though here fresh. ANIENE (3) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1800m at Niigata, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will drift back but wind up late. Not beaten far both runs and looks a leading chance. DONNA LEE (7) has not appeared since she finished second on debut over 1800m at Fukushima on July 18. Led and run down on debut. Sure to give a sight fresh.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, failed to make an impression; ran second last of 12 at Niigata on August 22 over 1600m, 20 len behind Zip Spark carrying 55.0kg at $67.10. Second-up got back early 11th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on September 13 over 1200m, 14 len behind Alex K with 53.0kg at $96.10. Won't be beating too many of these home.

Resuming after a break; only one run when raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Tokyo on June 6 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Figlio Solare carrying 55.0kg at $4.90. Raced on speed and fought on well on debut. Has the talent to take this out.

Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the pace before fading 7th of 10 in the G3 Niigata Nisai Stakes on August 23 over 1600m, 11 len behind Lotschberg with 55.0kg at $113.40. The race before that 8th of 12 at Niigata on August 2 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Nodus with 55.0kg at $410.40. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 11 at Niigata on August 30 over 1800m, 20 len behind Cestino carrying 55.0kg at $65.40. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.
