Niigata Race 11 - Lumiere Autumn Dash(L)

VENTURA (3) brings the strongest winning profile after scoring by two and a half lengths at this track as a well-supported favourite, and the manner of that win suggests she has returned in strong order. She is lightly raced, has three wins from eight starts and is already proven over this 1000m task, so she deserves to be treated as the runner to beat. ECORO REGINA (11) is the established danger, with three wins and two placings from eight starts at this track and distance, plus a recent Open win over American Stage before finishing sixth in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash. FIORAIA (8) has not fired in two runs this campaign, but her Listed and G3 form reads well for this and she has won at this venue. Mozu NANAO Star (9) resumes with solid turf credentials and has placed at both the distance and the track, though she must turn recent unplaced runs into something sharper.

Comments

Resumes after three months off following a moderate 13th at Sapporo, where she was beaten five lengths at big odds and found only a fair late effort behind Namura Clara. Her G3 Silk Road Stakes run two back at Kyoto was also no better than midfield, though she has won at this track and carries a light weight. The first try around 1000m adds another question, so a sharp fresh return is required.

Comments

Resumes after three months off with a proven track-and-distance record, but his recent figures are difficult to warm to. He was sixth in an ALLOW at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths at big odds, and had been 13th in similar grade before that. Unplaced in all seven starts in the past 12 months, he has to rediscover older form to threaten.

Comments

Returns off a two-month let-up after a decisive ALLOW win at this track, where she led to the turn and kept finding to beat La Torche by two and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite. That was a clear rebound from her Fukushima effort, and she now has three wins from eight starts, including one from one at both the track and distance. Lightly weighted and third-up, she sets a strong standard.

Comments

Resumes after three months off with some weight relief, but he was only seventh in an ALLOW at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths after giving away a big start. His Hakodate run prior had more merit, finishing off from well back when beaten three and a half lengths at long odds. He can improve into a minor role, but the winning edge is not obvious.

Resumes after three months off and comes out of the G3 Ibis Summer Dash, where he finished 11th at this track, beaten six and a half lengths after settling midfield and keeping on without threatening Puro Magic. He had also been safely held in Open company here the run prior after firm market respect. With no wins or placings from three tries around 1000m, he has plenty to turn around.

Resumes after three months off with a sound track-and-distance base, having two wins and four placings from ten attempts under these conditions. She won an ALLOW by a neck two starts ago before finishing ninth at this track, where she led and was run down late. That last margin was heavy, but her 1000m record and light weight keep her in the mix for a placing.

Third-up now after fading out of a Tokyo Dirt ALLOW over 1400m, where he held a narrow lead before being swamped and beaten just over nine lengths. His previous third at Niigata Dirt was much better, closing within just over a length at generous odds. He brings a strong overall place record, handles turf well, and reunites with a jockey who has never missed a place on him.

Has been unplaced in two runs this campaign, but both were strong races: tenth in the Listed Opal Stakes at Kyoto and 13th in the G3 CBC Sho at Chukyo. She was beaten only three and a half lengths last time after failing to finish it off, so the form has more substance than the position suggests. A previous win at this track and proven black-type quality keep her firmly in calculations.

Resumes after three months off having run 11th at Sapporo, beaten four lengths after getting too far back but still finishing off decently. Her G3 Hakodate Sprint Stakes run two back was also unplaced, though she did keep going when the race was beyond her. She has placed at both this track and distance, owns solid turf figures, and is capable of a sharper fresh showing.

Resumes after three months off following a 13th in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash at this track, where he was unwanted in the market and beaten seven lengths by Puro Magic. His previous second at Fukushima, beaten a nose at big odds, was a much better run, and he does have three wins at this track and distance. Even so, at eight years of age he must produce his best to bridge the gap.

Resumes after three months off with a strong 1000m record at this track, where she has three wins and two placings from eight starts. She was sixth in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash last time, working home only fairly behind Puro Magic, but that followed an Open win here over American Stage. With Kazuki Kikuzawa back aboard and the right conditions in her favour, she looks a major threat.

Resumes after an eight-month break and has to overcome a run of plain form. She was 13th in an Open race at Fukushima when beaten just over five lengths and had earlier finished 12th on Kyoto Dirt at big odds. Her overall career record is respectable, but she has not raced around 1000m before and has been unplaced in all three starts across the past 12 months.

Second-up on a quick back-up after finishing last in an ALLOW at this track over 1200m, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds after settling well back and making no impression. Her fourth here in Open company two runs ago was far better, beaten two lengths by Ecoro Regina, and she has won around 1000m. Even with the light weight, recent consistency is the sticking point.

Resumes after three months off in excellent form, having won an ALLOW at this track by four lengths as the short odds-on favourite. That followed a third in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash, where she was beaten just over three lengths after being unwanted in the market. With four wins from 13 starts and a perfect place record from three track-and-distance runs, she is a genuine placing chance again.

Returns from a six-week let-up after a first-up seventh at Nakayama Dirt, beaten three and a half lengths after settling handy but failing to quicken. His previous fourth at Hanshin Dirt was sound enough, and Arata Saito has two wins and a placing from seven rides on him. The first try around 1000m and first look at this track temper the case, but he has place claims if he adapts.

Resumes after three months off needing to put a heavy G3 Ibis Summer Dash defeat behind her, having finished last at this track, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. Her prior Open fifth here was much stronger, charging home and just missing when beaten two and a half lengths by Ecoro Regina. With three wins at this track and distance, she can bounce back into the minor-money picture.

Comments

Resumes after three months off having surprised at big odds when second in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash at this track, beaten three lengths after travelling well and working into the race. His Kokura fifth before that was sound without being threatening. He has placed twice from two starts at both the track and distance, but repeating that spike is the challenge from this mark.
