NAKAYAMA DIRT   07 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

ICHIKAWA STAKES 1800m

Track:      

Sizzling pace from Chuwa Kris S, Spade Un and Toa Aigis locking horns ahead of Wisteria River and Gold Alone. FARIZA (14) returns today and is on a run of three straight wins, the latest over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt on October 5. Akihide Tsumura who has two wins when partnering stays on. Won only try at trip and will be tough to hold out. CROWN SIENTA (5) really dug deep to salute by 2.5 lengths three runs back at Niigata Dirt before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Nicely placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CHUWA KRIS S (3) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. GREATEST SONG (12) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break four-and-a-half months ago over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be thereabouts.
