Niigata Race 4 - Mdn Race
MANAIAKALANI (14) is back after a break of ten weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Set to return in style. PURIPURI PUDDING (3) has not raced since she finished third over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt on May 23. Shows more promise than most of these. Sure to prove tough to stop. ORANGE CAMPUS (15) returned last time with a solid second at Fukushima Dirt over 1150m after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to play a major role. SNOW LANCE (4) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1200m at this track. Can figure in the finish.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, eased back early on 11th of 18 at Tokyo on May 30 over 1400m, 5 len behind Wadi Al Riyah with 57.0kg at $233.60. Last start 13th of 16 at Tokyo Dirt on June 21 over 1600m, 20 len behind Aqua Mars carrying 54.0kg at $167.70. Hard to make a case today.
