NAKAYAMA DIRT   13 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Yodono Luminous heading them off. MARGOT REVE (4) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1200m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths. Finds a nice race and can atone. CHELSEA (15) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when she found one better over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. SONYASHNYK (8) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Likely improver with strong prospects. LAVA GLOW (5) finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Should be about the money.
