Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
NAUSET (12) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1400m at this track in a tougher race. Has a wide gate to overcome but he shouldn't be a maiden for long. DESPAIR HOPE (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at Fukushima over 1200m, beaten 2 lengths. Capable of sharp improvement. COOL BOBBY (6) did his best work late and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his eighth on debut at Fukushima the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. COOL STRUTTIN' (7) turned in a much better run at her second appearance last time out when one length from the winner in fifth over 1000m at this track. Fitter and among the chances.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, raced on the pace before fading 8th of 16 at Fukushima on July 19 over 1200m, 8 len behind Chalandamarz carrying 52.0kg at $35.70. Second-up 5th of 13 at this track on August 8 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Groovens with 52.0kg at $40.60. Key chance likely to give a big sight.

Third race start. First start sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at Tokyo on June 6 over 1400m, 8 len behind Lardon Chase with 55.0kg at $63.50. Returned from break ran second last of 13 at this track on August 8 over 1400m, 11 len behind Groovens with 52.0kg at $63.80. Unlikely to threaten.
