NAKAYAMA DIRT   05 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

CHIBA NIPPO HAI 1800m

Track:      

Keen tempo with Immortal Bird and Bennelong Point prominent. ROUGE ABELIA (7) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish third. Should park just off the speed again and with the run under her belt is a leading contender. RAIJIMMARU (15) finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in third last start over 1800m at this track after racing on the speed. Has the gate speed to overcome a awkward draw. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. FREMANTLE (13) won at this track and distance at his last outing four months ago. Specialist at this journey and is sure to make his presence felt. ARARE TABASHIRU (5) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance ten weeks ago. Good fresh performer who is one to consider.
