Niigata Race 9 - Mdn Race

AUSWAHL (2) wasn't far away when fourth 28 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. That result followed a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima the run before. All set to find winning form. NOBLE CRY (6) returned from a layoff last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at this track, finishing sixth when partnered by today's jockey Y Igarashi. Before that first-up run he transferred to the Eiji Nakadate yard. Can feature with the run under his belt. TAISEI RESPONSE (11) was unplaced two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at this track then improved last time when he finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. No surprise to see him back in form. MEISHO TOM (4) missed the placings in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at this track two back then improved to finish second in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura last time out. Will be there at the finish.

Racing well. Last run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily finished fourth of 11 starters at Kokura on July 19 over 2860m, 1.75 len behind Bunny Rabbit with 60.0kg at $1.70. Start before sat on the pace then finished second of 12 starters at Fukushima on June 28 over 2750m, 1.3 len behind Point Culminant with 60.0kg at $2.60. Overdue for a jumps win. Has the ability to take this out.

Second-up today. Fresh up after two months made ground from midfield; finished sixth of 14 starters at this track on July 26 over 2850m, on slow going 9 len behind Cannelle with 60.0kg at $2.40. Previously second-up finished ninth of 14 runners at Nakayama on March 8 over 2880m, 17 len behind Balsam Note carrying 60.0kg at $22. Useful type, definite improver.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after two months held ground to the line finished third of 14 runners at this track on July 26 over 2850m, slow track; 5.5 len behind Cannelle carrying 57.0kg at $44.20. Previously second-up came from midfield; finished eighth of 13 starters at this track on May 23 over 2890m, 16 len behind Run For Smile with 57.0kg at $106.60. Definite chance. Worth consideration.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start finished fourth of 12 runners at Kokura on July 18 over 2860m, 6 len behind Seiun Pursuit carrying 60.0kg at $3.80. Before that came from midfield; finished fifth of 13 runners at this track on May 17 over 2890m, 7 len behind Vers Reims with 60.0kg at $5.90. Well suited here, should prove hard to beat.

Third-up today. Resuming made some head-way from midfield; finished fifth of 13 starters at this track on May 23 over 2890m, 8 len behind Run For Smile with 59.0kg at $51.50. Second-up settled back and ran on when finished seventh of 14 runners at Tokyo on June 21 over 3000m, 12 len behind Bright Man with 60.0kg at $21. Won't be beating too many of these home.
