NAKAYAMA DIRT   14 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Expecting Ascot Vert to take up the running with Earth Axis and Queen's Holiday close at hand. EARTH AXIS (7) finished third, beaten a neck, over 1800m at this track on debut nine weeks ago and has been kept under wraps since. Likely improver and expected to go well again. ASCOT VERT (6) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1800m at this track after a placing on debut the run prior. Ready to find winning form. QUEEN'S HOLIDAY (11) is a five-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at this track over 1800m last time out after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ECORO STORM (8) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 9 lengths, after being handy on the bend at her latest appearance over 1800m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
