Nakayama Race 1 - Mdn Race
WAREMOKO (13) resumes from a spell of nine weeks after two solid runs during the maiden campaign, the latest a second over 1400m at Niigata. Showed ability and was close to a win before a break. Placed this trip when on debut. Drawn out a little but should be in the finish. GEMINI DIEU (11) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. ECORO BLANC (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at Niigata over 1400m, beaten 2.25 lengths. Should be thereabouts. MARINO ESPRESSO (7) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 2.75 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
