NAKAYAMA DIRT   12 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Off the low draw Derma Apollonia is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. ROMIHI (12) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 0.8 lengths away in second over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt when she was handy all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. DERMA APOLLONIA (2) was sent out favourite last time when third over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. One of the better hopes. LADY FRANCES (14) is third up today and looks close to a win after finishing a close second last time out over 1800m at this track. Wide draw the only negative. MORNING MAGIC (9) finished 11 lengths from the winner in fifth after being in the firing line on the corner at her most recent outing over 1800m at this track. Among the better chances on her best form.
