Niigata Race 1 - Mdn Race
CRUST MOON (6) Ran on when 3rd beaten by 1 1/4L last start at Kyoto and was on debut last time. One of the major players. REAL JAPAN (5) Fresh after a break. Made up ground when 4th last run at Sapporo. Underrated. COOL GAMON (9) Despite being overrun still placed 2nd last start at Kyoto and having second career run. Appears well in this. BERANGKAT BAROWS (4) Gave ground late when 5th last run at Nakayama and having second race start. Can be competitive.

Was safely held second-up at this venue last week, finishing tenth behind Jasper Reve and beaten just over nine lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. Her previous run on Chukyo Dirt was also plain, beaten over 15 lengths after racing closer. Weight relief helps, but she is unplaced in three goes around 1200m and must find a far sharper finish.

Made little impact on debut in a Kyoto Dirt NEWCOMER over 1400m, finishing 12th behind Himehakka and beaten over 17 lengths after being well back and never likely. The class drop gives her some scope to improve, and Kazuki Kikuzawa is a positive booking, but she tackles 1200m for the first time and must show considerably more second-up.

Produced a sound debut at Kyoto in a NEWCOMER, finishing fourth to Benny Barows and beaten a length and a half despite starting at long odds. She made up good ground late and was not far from Cool Gamon and Crust Moon in the same form reference. The class drop is useful, and with natural improvement she profiles as a genuine place chance with some upside.

Worked home evenly when fifth on debut in a Nakayama NEWCOMER, beaten just over nine lengths by Mieno Vivid after being rated an outside chance in betting. That margin leaves improvement to come, but he now drops from NEWCOMER grade and is from a stable with a strong track profile. He has place claims if that first run brings him on.

Resumes after a three-month break having ended his last campaign with a fourth at Sapporo, beaten just over four lengths by Typhoon Nine when he did not quicken. His previous run was a tenth over 1500m, so the form is mixed, but he has one placing from four tries around 1200m and has placed with Hayato Yoshida. A minor-money case is there if he returns forward enough.

Closed strongly on debut at Kyoto, finishing third in a NEWCOMER behind Benny Barows and beaten just over a length as the well-supported favourite. He did finish behind Cool Gamon that day, but the effort showed enough quality at this distance and the class drop is in his favour. With normal second-up improvement, he is one of the stronger winning chances.

Comes here third-up and gets in with a light weight, which are clear positives despite two unplaced Hanshin runs over 1400m. She was eighth last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Nix Luna after failing to finish off, while her debut fifth behind Issus had more merit. The back to 1200m is untried, but fitness and weight relief keep her in the winning conversation.

Has the race-fitness angle third-up, but her two runs to date have been well held. She was seventh at Tokyo last start, beaten six lengths by Sonic Isle after settling prominently and fading, following a 12th on debut when beaten over 16 lengths. The drop to 1200m is new and recent market interest has been limited, so she is more a place hope than a win push.

Made an excellent start when second in a Kyoto NEWCOMER over 1200m, beaten just over a length by Benny Barows after only being run down late. That form already has her ahead of Crust Moon, and she is top-rated across recent and distance measures while also receiving weight relief. She can use her early speed and looks the clear horse to beat.

Showed some improvement at this track last week when sixth behind Jasper Reve, beaten just under five lengths after settling handy, but she was big odds and there was no clear excuse. Her debut at Sapporo was much weaker, finishing 12th and beaten over 14 lengths. Third-up fitness helps, but the overall profile still requires a sizeable lift.

Placed on debut at Tokyo in a NEWCOMER over 1400m, finishing third behind Sword Of State and beaten just over four lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That gives her a better starting point than several here, and the class drop helps, but she has not raced around 1200m before. She can improve, though the profile still sits below the main chances.

Failed to finish off after leading narrowly into the lane on Niigata Dirt last week, finishing 11th behind Yotsuba and beaten just under nine lengths. She was also beaten over 12 lengths at Chukyo Dirt the run before, and her record around 1200m stands at three starts for no placings. The recent form leaves her with a difficult task.

Resumes after a two-month freshening following a disappointing Nakayama debut in a NEWCOMER over 1600m, where she finished 11th behind I'M On A Roll and was beaten over 17 lengths. The class drop is the obvious positive, and Arata Saito has a handy track profile, but she is new to 1200m and must produce a much sharper second run.
