NAKAYAMA DIRT   07 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Expecting Etincelle to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ETINCELLE (7) made his debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab third, beaten 2 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. DANCING AWAY (5) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth after being prominent at the corner at his most recent outing over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Starting to put it all together and is likely to be in the finish. LOGI KRIS S (2) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Didn't come up last time in work but ran a cracker on debut last September over 1600m at Nakayama. Strong chance on that effort. MUSCULATION (14) finished midfield when resuming from a break last start over 1800m at Tokyo, beaten 8 lengths at very long odds. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw and can improve sharply.
