NIIGATA DIRT   05 Oct 2024
 
GOING:

TOYANO TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track: MUDDY      

Despite the wide draw Copano Miami should cross and set a genuine tempo. TOHO BORT (2) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 4 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Not a prolific winner but has come back in fine shape. Sure to prove tough to beat. ACCHA GHORA (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Kawasaki, beaten 6 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but with added fitness he is good enough to take this out. WILD BETTY (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. TELEPATHY (5) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on July 14, finishing 11th and beaten 9 lengths over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Can make her presence felt.
