Niigata Race 7 - The Niigata Nisai Stakes(G3)
Good line-up. LOTSCHBERG (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1600m at Tokyo nine weeks ago and has not appeared since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. TOSHIN MAGIC (7) drifted back then closed strongly to score on debut over 1600m at this track four weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. CHANT DES VAGUES (1) was heavily bet on debut and lifted strongly to score a determined win over 1600m at Tokyo ten weeks ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. INCARNATA (10) has not raced since he scored on debut over 1800m at Hanshin on June 14. Showed good speed and led throughout. Everything points to a big run.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when favourite; came from midfield and won by a nose at Tokyo on June 13 over 1600m defeating G T Carry carrying 55.0kg at $1.30. Was heavily bet on debut and lifted strongly to score a determined win. Look for a bold run.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 3 len at Tokyo on June 20 over 1600m defeating Pair Star Road with 55.0kg at $4. Far too good on debut. Has big upside and expected to go close again fresh.

Having third race start. At big odds at debut, raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 at Fukushima on June 27 over 1200m, 9 len behind Anmut carrying 55.0kg at $37.60. Last start 5th of 12 at Fukushima on July 18 over 1200m, 4 len behind Shonan Haave with 55.0kg at $40. Likely to find them too smart.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 10th of 13 at Fukushima on July 5 over 1200m, 10 len behind Picnic March with 55.0kg at $117. Second-up 8th of 12 at this track on August 2 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Nodus carrying 55.0kg at $410.40. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
