Niigata

DANON FUNSTAR (6) Solid effort when placing 2nd last time at Tokyo. Keita Tosaki and Hiroyasu Tanaka have achieved a lot of success as a team. Has good finishing speed. No shock to see a win. KISHIDANCHO (10) Felt the pinch late when 3rd beaten by 1 1/2L last start at this venue and promising career start. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Respect. KAZANLAK (11) Back after a break. Ran 6th last run at Tokyo. Giving another go here. Goes very close. DAISY (12) First run back after spell. Gave away some ground when 12th last run at Fukushima. Should be rolling forward early from the wide gate. Looks to have a good chance of placing.
