Niigata Race 3 - Maiden Race
Not much separates the top handful. BANG ON TIME (9) returns from a layoff of three months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Tokyo. Has found the right race to launch this prep in the right way. RUNWAY MUSE (1) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last prep with a third, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1800m at Nakayama. Sure to prove tough to stop while fresh. MIRACULOUS EARTH (14) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 1.5 lengths when fourth over 1600m at Kyoto. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. REALIZE GEYSER (8) returns after six-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Can kick off in a positive manner.
