GOING: G

NAKAYAMA HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Mega Bonus and Happy Park can set up a strong tempo from their inside draws. DRAGON FOUR SEAS (1) led the field last start as the $1.40 favourite and was too good, winning by 0.3L. He's building a good record and while he rises in weight, he should be prominent again for Bowman. Expecting him to be very hard to run down once again. MOTOMAN (2) is knocking on the door of another victory after a 0.8L defeat at this track and trip most recently. Jimmy Orman remains in the saddle and while he has drawn out, he may be able to slot into the running line. Racing in good order and can be in the finish again. STAR BROSE (6) is on debut today with Zac Purton in the saddle. He's shown some ability at the trials and this isn't an overly strong C4 event. Can be thereabouts in his race debut. FAIRY HORSE (11) is racing in good order and can put himself into the finish if he can hold his form.
