Niigata Kinen....A Crystal Clear Winner?

Niigata 11th Race

#5 Narita Cyrstal....Last race out a seemly effortless ride turned into a big disappointment as Take Yutaka steered Narita right into an onslaught of traffic. This time around with a short field and a less than steller talent level, Crystal should duplicate last years winning effort in this very race.

The Wager: # 5 with 2,4,7 ￥4000 Each Way Exacta
# 5 with 3,6,8 ￥1000 Each Way Excata

Straight Trifectas. (5) & (2)& (3) (4) (6) (7)(8)

All Trifectas ￥1000

Kita-Kyushu Kinen

Kokura 11 Race

#6 A Shin Virgo...Extreme weight handicaps all away around here, but at 55.5 on this Falbrav/Thunder Gulch sire, especially at 1200 meters looks very doable.

The Wager: 5,6,8,9,10... ￥1000 Exacta Each-Way Box, except with #6 @ ￥2000

Sekiya Kinen

Niigata 11 Race

#5 Sacred Valley...Not a true miler but with a more than above average class line and recent good outings, could very well propel him to a duplicate performance like last years race ( 2nd) or possibly better.

The Wager: #5 with 2,7,9,10,11,12 ￥2000 Each-Way Exacta ￥24,000

( #2 Absolute.. @ 45-1 but a veteran that could fire if he wants to. Wearing blinkers for the first time in his 7-yr career. ￥5000 Show Ticket.......2# with 7,9,10,11 12 ￥500 Quinellas
