NIIGATA DIRT   05 May 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of pace with Hayabusa Kin Chan and Saimon Bene making the most of their low draws and battling for early honours. CUMBERLAND (13) held on well to finish third when first-up from a break last time out over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt after leading for much of the way. Well placed and will take catching. IT'S NOTHING (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Sits handy in the run. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. FAIENCE (14) improved last start when second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Speedy beginner who can overcome the wide barrier. Expected to give a great sight. SOKYU (3) raced below her best last time when ninth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 11 lengths. Well placed and should be thereabouts.

Was at very long odds at debut, 12th of 14 at Fukushima Dirt on April 14 over 1700m, 22 len behind Reflect The Moon with 55.0kg at $58.50. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on March 2 over 1800m, 6 len behind L'echellede L'ange with 55.0kg at $10.10. Second run from a spell 3rd of 15 at Fukushima Dirt on April 13 over 1700m, 10 len behind Kaseno Lupus carrying 54.0kg at $5.80. Promising galloper. Should go well.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Last start 5th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on March 10 over 1800m, 11 len behind Gold Alone with 55.0kg at $43.90. The start before that struggled in the run home; 10th of 16 at Kokura Dirt on February 17 over 1700m, 13 len behind Bel Messiah carrying 51.0kg at $37.20. Genuine chance this time around.

Third-up today. Freshened for 49 days. Resuming failed to make an impression; 6th of 16 at Nakayama Dirt on February 24 over 1800m, 6 len behind Gelee Blanche with 52.0kg at $77.20. Second-up second last of 15 at Chukyo Dirt on March 17 over 1800m, 27 len behind Satono Iolite with 52.0kg at $29.10. Others offer greater appeal.
