NAKAYAMA DIRT   20 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

SHIODOME TOKUBETSU 1200m

Track:      

Pace a scorcher, headed by Blue Mckinzie, Takasutakasutakasu and Macmillan Tesoro, closely followed by Feel My Plan and Mee Huapala. TAKASUTAKASUTAKASU (8) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing fifth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt three months ago which was the only run of that prep. Goes well fresh and building a good record course and distance. Has the talent to take this out and expected to take running down. JACK NADAL (9) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by a neck over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Will be better for that latest run and is expected to feature in the finish. BLUE MCKINZIE (15) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break 11 weeks ago over 1000m at Kokura Dirt. Goes well when fresh including a win and one minor placings. Brilliant speed but has a wide gate to overcome. Anticipate a bold showing. FEEL MY PLAN (11) recorded a strong on-speed win last time by 1.5 lengths over this journey at Niigata Dirt. Can figure in the finish again.
