Niigata Race 11 - The Niigata Daishoten(G3)

DOURADORES (6) has been thereabouts in two runs this prep against better company, the latest result a fifth beaten 1.1 lengths in the G2 Kinko Sho at Chukyo over 2000m. Change of rider to Christophe Lemaire who has never been out of the money in four rides, including a win. The testing material. SUGAR KUN (15) lines up for the first time since May 26 2024. Won a G2 2 over 2400m at Tokyo when last in work to stamp his quality. Rates highly on best form and is a chance if forward enough YAMANIN BOUCLIER (8) has not appeared since he finished fifth over 2100m in the G1 Neom Turf Cup at Riyadh on February 14. Yet to prove himself at this level but is a strong top-three prospect. ANGOLA BLACK (4) lines up for the first time since March 7. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings in a Gr 3 over 2000m at Nakayama. Can make her presence felt.
