Niigata Race 3 - Maiden Race
IVY CHEEKY (1) is a promising maiden who looks close to a win, finishing fourth on debut then placing over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt last time out. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Gets chance. MEINER ZELOS (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. NORINO DRAGON (5) finished 7 lengths adrift in sixth last time at Hanshin Dirt in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to make amends. TREASURE STONE (3) has not raced since his debut back on January 24 when he finished 16th over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. This easier and has upside. Should be thereabouts.

Comes off a 36 day let-up. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 14 at Hanshin Dirt on April 4 over 1800m, 10 len behind Gonta with 53.0kg at $87.20. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 13 at Chukyo Dirt on March 21 over 1900m, 8 len behind Serge Barows with 53.0kg at $169.70. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
