Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
JASPER REVE (8) Couldn't keep the momentum going throughout when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at Hanshin and having second race start. Should race on the speed. Has the ability to take this out. STELLA VENTO (7) Resuming after break. Tidy effort when 3rd last run at Chukyo and fitter for debut run. Can give this a shake. NISHINO ATOLL (5) Outgunned at the finish when 3rd last start at Nakayama. Displays good tactical speed. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. SHIRAH STATE (1) Came in 5th last time at Chukyo but having second race start. Likely to be well placed early. Gets the perfect alley. Coming back in trip. A win wouldn't surprise.

Returns from a two-month let-up after being sent out favourite on debut in a NEWCOMER over 1600m at Chukyo, where he raced right there and finished fifth, beaten a length and a half by Meisho Seiku. The first look at 1200m is the question, but barrier one should help him hold a handy spot and the class drop into a Mdn gives him a strong platform to win.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing sixth over 1800m at Sapporo, beaten five and a half lengths by Geo after leading and offering no clear excuse. Her debut ninth at Fukushima was much weaker, with the market cold both times. The light weight helps, but she has not raced at around 1200m and must produce a sharper finish to trouble these.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a plain seventh at Sapporo, beaten over 11 lengths by Mihatenu Yume when the final effort was only moderate. She had been last at the same venue two runs back after failing to muster late. Race fitness is a small positive and she has placed once from three tries at this distance, but recent form leaves her with plenty to find.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing second last at Sapporo, well held behind Desert Spirit despite leading. The previous Hakodate fifth was more respectable, but he was still beaten just over seven lengths after sitting near the speed. Race fitness is there on paper, yet his one previous try around 1200m produced no placing and others bring stronger figures.

Showed the right improvement third-up when third at Nakayama over 1200m, beaten three and a half lengths by Butterfly after starting an outside chance. That was a clear step forward from a weak debut at this track in a NEWCOMER over 1400m. He has already placed at the trip and should be race-fit now, which keeps him high among the winning chances.

Resumed with a fourth at Nakayama over 1200m, beaten five and a half lengths by Butterfly after settling rearward and making some late ground from an unfavoured market position. She still finished behind Nishino Atoll in that same race, and her only earlier start was a well-beaten Tokyo debut. Fitter second-up, she profiles as a place hope rather than a clear winning threat.

Returns from a three-month spell after a sound debut third in a Chukyo NEWCOMER, beaten a length and a half by Seiun My Love after closing nicely into the placing. That single run gives her a clean platform, and the class drop into a Mdn suits. A ¥23.1m yearling purchase with a 100% place record so far, she is a genuine each-way chance if ready fresh.

Gave a strong sight on debut in a Hanshin NEWCOMER over 1200m, finishing second and beaten only half a length by Impulse Drive after being run down late. That form is a clean reference for this race and the class drop into a Mdn is a positive. She was at generous odds there, so improvement with race experience would put her right in the winning mix.

Picked up well on debut at Nakayama in a NEWCOMER, finishing fourth and beaten just over four lengths by Silver Norida after starting at long odds. That was an encouraging first race-day effort without quite matching the sharper place form of the main hopes. The class drop into a Mdn gives her a chance to improve, and she can press for a minor cheque.

Returns from a four-month break after a fifth at Kokura, beaten just under four lengths by Curren Hau, though the market gave him little respect. His debut a week earlier was a long way back on rain-affected ground, so the overall profile remains thin. He is unplaced from two runs at this distance and will have to find a stronger closing effort.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a well-beaten debut 12th in a Sapporo NEWCOMER over 1500m, beaten over 14 lengths by Schwarze Perle after leading. The class drop and weight relief are helpful, but she has not raced at around 1200m and the first performance offered little late resistance. Considerably more is required second-up.

Returns from a three-month break after a much better sixth at this track over 1000m, beaten just over a length by Estrella Bonita after settling well back and charging home late. His Fukushima debut sixth was plainer, beaten six and a half lengths after failing to quicken. The extra 200m is not unknown, but he was unplaced at his one try around 1200m, so he sits as an outside chance.

Returns from a three-month spell after a heavy Chukyo Dirt defeat, finishing second last and beaten over 15 lengths by Red Nebula at long odds. Her debut seventh at Kokura on turf was sounder, beaten six lengths by Bluechip after lacking a change of gears late. With only one turf run and no placing from two starts, she shapes as a minor hope if she returns improved.
