Maiden Race 1400m Track: FIRM |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Moderate tempo with Repunit leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. REPUNIT (16) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish seventh last time out over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt following a minor placing at this track over 1400m the run prior. Better than latest and gets chance to atone. NUCLEOTIDE (8) returned last time with a solid third at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m after being in contention on the bend. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BARE HANDED CATCH (10) ran a better race last start at his second appearance, finishing fifth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has further upside and looks ready to break through. NANYO LOYAL (4) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished tenth over 1800m at Tokyo. Solid top-three hope.
