NAKAYAMA DIRT   12 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track:      

Despite the wide draw Shanghai Night should cross and set a genuine tempo. VIN BRULE (12) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in ninth over 1200m at this track on January 24 which was the only run of that prep. Rates highly and expected to go well. SHUREN (10) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. MAONO CRUSH (13) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 3 lengths when seventh over 1000m at Kokura Dirt seven weeks ago. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HARMONY SONG (2) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign to finish 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
