Nakayama Race 11

The Hopeful Stakes

Stake: $1,533,743

CROIX DU NORD (6) is yet to taste defeat in two starts, the latest when resuming from a spell over 1800m in the Grade 2 Tokyo Nisai Stakes. Impossible to knock the form and has big upside. Looks the testing material. PIKO CHAN BLACK (15) is a promising colt who won on debut then was runner-up in the Listed Ivy Stakes over 1800m at Tokyo on October 19. Fitter again and the extra trip a plus. Should be prominent from the outset and expected to measure up. MAGIC SANDS (12) resumes after a break of four months. Unbeaten in two starts, the latest claiming the Grade 3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes. Hard to fault winning form and although this tougher can only be improved. Solid chance. YAMANIN BOUCLIER (7) showed good speed and fought on for second over 2000m at Kyoto last time. Should settle in a handy position. Can sneak into the finish again.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, won by a neck at Kyoto October 20 over 1800m defeating Paatihaan with 56.0kg at $3.90. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 at Kyoto on November 10 over 2000m, 3 len behind Museum Mile carrying 56.0kg at $3. Should be right in the finish.
