Niigata

PRIMERA ESTRELLA (4) Peaked on the run when 3rd beaten by 3L last time at Kyoto. Likely to be well placed early. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. KAFUJI CANISTEL (9) Was overpowered late when 3rd beaten by 4 1/4L last time at Kyoto. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Expect to go close. LEGAME FORTE (1) Closed off nicely when 5th last time at Kyoto and was a debutant last start. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Winnable race. ECORO WALD (5) First up after a break. Solid effort when placing 3rd last run at Sapporo. Will be hitting the line strongly. Can go on with it.
