Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
LA GARRIGA (8) debuted seven weeks ago and was well supported when he finished eighth over 1800m at Tokyo, beaten 4.5 lengths. Better for the run and can improve sharply. SUPER YUTAKA (13) will find this a little easier than his third on debut five weeks ago, beaten 6 lengths at the end of 1800m at Hakodate. Jumps from a wide draw but he will prove tough to beat. TWO HEARTS (14) ended up 8 lengths behind the winner in seventh on debut last start over 1800m at Kokura. Open to plenty of improvement. Expected to be competitive. AOI NORIPU (6) was beaten for speed on debut last start then found the line strongly to grab third over 1800m at Hakodate. Has ability and worth including.
