NAKAYAMA DIRT   10 Jan 2026
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Copano Eidan may lead the way over Arde Kingdom. BELL WOOD PEACE (2) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at this track, beaten a nose. Heading in the right direction and looks sure to run well. ARDE KINGDOM (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Nakayama, beaten 6 lengths. Very little depth to this race so he should give it a mighty shake. HUDIE LAN (1) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1800m at Niigata. Rates highly on best figures and looks right in this. CAFE TANGAROA (16) faced the starter for the first time and finished 11th last start at Nakayama over 2000m, beaten 15 lengths. Betting on that occasion suggests there is more under the hood.
