Niigata Race 6 - Maiden Race
KOIOS TESORO (7) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1800m at this track, beaten half a length when fresh from a spell as favourite. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ULTRA HEART (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of six-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. No surprise if he was able to get off the mark. MY COLOR (10) is yet to break through in six runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on April 5. Worth including in this suitable contest. HO O STRIKE (2) has not been sighted since he finished 11th over 2000m at Kokura on February 22. Deserves serious consideration.

Last start raced on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 15 at this track on May 10 over 1800m, 11 len behind Norino Dragon with 53.0kg at $67.20. The race before that couldn't go on with it; 7th of 14 at Hanshin Dirt on April 4 over 1800m, 10 len behind Gonta with 53.0kg at $87.20. Can't recommend.
