Niigata Race 7 - The Sekiya Kinen(G3)

DANON CENTURY (8) wasn't far away in tougher class last time. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope. AMPADU (3) is a pirst try in stakes class but promising type who excels fresh. Sure to be ready to run well. CRANFORD (10) has gone a long time since a win but best figures more than stack up, including a close-up fourth in richer grade two back. Could prove too smart for these. THUNDERSTRUCK (9) is resuming in far lesser grade. Has won fresh and is not to be underestimated. ELTON BAROWS (7) ran on well to win this grade last time. Genuine contender under these conditions.

The run before that 6th of 18 at Kyoto in the G2 Yomiuri Milers Cup on April 26 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Admire Zoom with 57.0kg at $17.90. Well drawn and looks a genuine hope.

Last start failed to make an impression; ran second last of 15 at Hakodate in the G3 Hakodate Kinen on June 28 over 2000m, 8 len behind Faust Rasen carrying 56.0kg at $8.80. The start before that 8th of 17 at Tokyo in the G3 Epsom Cup on May 9 over 1800m, 3 len behind Trovatore with 57.0kg at $29.80. Not keen on his prospects.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation 11th of 14 at this track in the LR May 10 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Run For Vow carrying 55.0kg at $2.70. Previously first up; second of 13 at Hanshin in the LR March 29 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Bellagio Bond carrying 55.0kg at $8.30. Long time since a win but best figures more than stack up, including a close-up fourth in richer grade two back. Could prove too smart for these.
