NAKAYAMA DIRT   19 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Loving You finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. HARMONY SONG (10) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten only half a length after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DONA CARNAVAL (5) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has upside and must be respected. SING A SONG (9) finished second last start over 1200m at this track to make it three minor placings from seven runs. Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from three starts. Great chance to break through. SISTER (4) was safely held on debut last start, finishing 14 lengths behind the winner in fifth over 1200m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement. Not to be discounted.
