Niigata Race 6 - Maiden Race
DANTSU URUS (13) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of five months. Progressive colt who can go to a new level this time in work. Sure to be right there at the business end. WIN MAGNIFIQUE (9) was strongly fancied when second last time over 1800m at Fukushima after being prominent at the corner. Going better than most of these and is a leading contender. MAKOTO ADDINGTON (14) finished second last start over 2000m at Fukushima, beaten a neck. Going well this prep and is nicely placed to go one better. FLORENCE FUGA (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut. From a very strong family, being by Fierement from Florence Girl. Promising type who is ready to run boldly.
