Niigata Race 3 - Maiden Race

Thin race where IVY CHEEKY (10) looks hard to beat. Three-start maiden who missed the placings first up but has since consolidated with two straight placings, the latest over 1800m at this track. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Gets chance. MEINER ZELOS (2) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4.5 lengths away in third over 1800m at this track when he was handy all the way. Placed four of last five. Should be right in the finish. SEVEN WONDERS (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1800m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TOKUSHI ZEPHYR (4) has not raced since his debut back on February 28 when he finished eighth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Top-three chance with that run under his belt.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 15 at this track on May 10 over 1800m, neck behind Norino Dragon with 57.0kg at $1.60. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 15 at Fukushima Dirt on April 19 over 1700m, 1.0 len behind Alacran carrying 54.0kg at $5.90. Put the writing on the wall last time.
