NAKAYAMA DIRT   12 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

From wide out B I Forte and Tableau will establish a genuine tempo. UNEXPLORED (10) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1200m after being prominent at the bend. Has had his issues but looks to be back in better order. Likely improver with strong prospects. NAC ORION (9) is yet to break through in 12 runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on March 23. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. B I FORTE (16) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start, beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Will be handy in transit despite the tricky draw. One of the main contenders. TABLEAU (12) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Can do a lot better.
