Niigata Race 5 - Maiden Race
NISHINO CRESCENT (11) is close to breaking through, last time out recording a fourth minor placing from four career starts when second over 2400m at Hanshin. Has a high cruising speed. Among the leading chances. BALLET MASTER (4) was ridden quietly from a good draw when resuming last start before closing nicely to get up for fifth over 2000m at Fukushima. Expected to prove tough to stop with the run under the belt. SCHON HAYTI (8) opened this campaign last start with a fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1800m at Fukushima. Best effort last prep was at this stage of the campaign. Solid top-three hope. BLOND KELLY (3) resumed last time out and finished fourth over 2400m at Hanshin, beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver who deserves serious consideration.
