NIIGATA DIRT   28 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Certain to be a strong tempo with Magical Step, February Sky and Brilliant Spica leading the charge. MARINO ROUGE (2) has accrued four minor placings from five runs this preparation. Turned in another good performance last start when third over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MANWOL (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ANASTASIS (11) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.3 lengths adrift in second over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt when returning from a spell. Sure to be thereabouts. PEISHA SWIFT (3) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. One to consider.
