Niigata Race 9 - Mdn Race

NOBLE CRY (8) returns from a 63-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at this track, beaten one length. Over the break has transferred to the Eiji Nakadate yard. Well-placed here and sure to be tough to beat. CANNELLE (5) returns after two months in the paddock. Kicked off the last prep with a solid second in a 2890m maiden steeplechase at this track, beaten 30 lengths. Capable and looks a top-three chance. BALAJI (12) finished fifth when fresh from a spell last start in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima with today's rider Kayata Komaki piloting. Expecting plenty of improvement. AWESOME STROKE (14) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at this track. Improved and found the frame last start, beaten 6 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima. Not to be taken lightly.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up made some head-way from midfield; finished sixth of 12 starters at this track on May 9 over 2890m, 46 len behind Black Ballade with 60.0kg at $18.70. Second run from a spell finished fifth of 12 runners at Fukushima on June 28 over 2750m, 7 len behind Point Culminant with 60.0kg at $18.40. Looks a strong winning hope.

Second-up today. Not raced for 50 days. First-up after seven months made some head-way from midfield; finished eighth of 14 starters at Tokyo on June 6 over 3000m, 11 len behind Lyra Star carrying 57.0kg at $49.50. Previously second-up finished second of 13 starters at Nakayama on September 7 over 2880m, 3.5 len behind With Your Dream with 60.0kg at $5. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

When resuming last campaign 6 of 11 runners at Kokura January 24 over 2860m, 3.5 len behind Taisei Jasper with 60.0kg at $16.10. Placed 2/4 over the jumps. May well prove too smart for these first up.
