NAKAYAMA   21 Sep 2024
 
GOING:

KUJUKURI TOKUBETSU 2500m

Track: FIRM      

Meiner Messiah has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. ISAAC BAROWS (2) resumed over 2000m at Chukyo where he showed little early speed but got home nicely to finish fifth, beaten 4 lengths. The extra ground looks a big plus. Expected to prove tough to stop. ADMIRE SAJI (8) started at $5.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths at Sapporo over 2600m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ARMALCOLITE (10) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at Hakodate Dirt over 2400m. Can pick up where he left off. REY DE LA LUZ (1) scored two back at Fukushima but was below his best last time when seventh over 2600m at Sapporo. Well placed to make amends.
