Nakayama Race 9 - Fuyo Stakes
JODRELL BANK (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1800m at Tokyo four months ago and has not appeared since. Very promising and can measure up again. STAR SPOT (8) impressed when successful on debut over 1800m at Fukushima 12 weeks ago and has been subsequently kept under wraps. Has plenty of upside and can win again. TAIVAS (5) impressed when successful on debut over 2000m at Niigata five weeks ago. Sure to play a major role once again. LEONTIOS (6) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1800m contest at Fukushima by one length. Sure to be competitive.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, got back early 8th of 12 at Niigata on August 8 over 1800m, 14 len behind Korallion carrying 55.0kg at $256.30. Second-up was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 0.8 len at Niigata on August 30 over 2000m defeating Ex Machina with 55.0kg at $61.70. Hard to envisage a win today.
