NAKAYAMA DIRT   30 Mar 2024
 
GOING: M

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Early speed assured from Floating Rose, Sunset Bright and Refrain locking horns ahead of Matsuri Botan. CON TE SORELLA (10) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 2200m at Nakayama. Well placed and happy to have her on top. SUNSET BRIGHT (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in second over 1800m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CAPE WICKHAM (2) did her best work late to finish third at a huge quote at her latest appearance at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m. Good signs last time and cannot be dismissed. DAINO HIDE (4) is a well bred three-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By Hawkbill from J K Dream who has been a successful producer. Should enjoy a nice run from this draw and should play a big role.
