NAKAYAMA DIRT   30 Mar 2024
 
GOING: M

CHIBA NIPPO HAI 1800m

Track:      

Expecting Zapatear to bounce to the lead from a low draw. ZAPATEAR (2) saluted at Kokura Dirt two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when prominent at the bend before finishing third over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Yuji Tannai is a key engagement. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STRIKE (6) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish second last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. In a suitable race and can find winning ways. CAMPIONE (7) finished third last time over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. EIFER EPOCH (1) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance 12 weeks ago. One to consider.
