Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
FRUITS BASKET (3) finished fifth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at this track, beaten half a length. Nicely placed to take this out. DOMINATOR (9) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 0.9 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1600m at this track. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. KONA PALMS (4) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1600m at Tokyo on debut last start. One of the main contenders. SHOOT THE WORKS (6) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Tokyo. Has upside and is worth including.
