Niigata Race 2 - Maiden Race
LORD FILER (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing half a length from the winner in second over 1800m at Kokura. Can open his account this time. TERUKEN LENSKY (3) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 2000m at Fukushima in a tougher race. Nicely drawn so he should pay to follow. FIREMAN (1) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1800m at Fukushima in a tougher race. Has the inside gate so he is among the leading chances. MEINER LIHIM (2) didn't do a lot on debut four weeks ago, finishing 10 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1800m at Fukushima. Open to plenty of improvement.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, 9th of 15 at Fukushima on July 13 over 1800m, 11 len behind Rouge Voyage with 52.0kg at $211.80. Second-up second last in a small field at this track on July 27 over 1800m, 5.5 len behind Zoroastro carrying 55.0kg at $78.60. Unlikely to threaten.

At debut, 10th of 13 at Fukushima on July 20 over 2000m, 26 len behind Obra Prima with 55.0kg at $11.70. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Last start settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at Fukushima on July 12 over 1800m, 8 len behind Black Hayate carrying 55.0kg at $32.70. Hard to make a case today.
