NAKAYAMA DIRT   14 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Willy's Rock to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. MR CANBERRA (5) met with solid support last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt when third, beaten 5 lengths, to make it three minor placings from as many starts. That form puts him right in this. GENEROUS KING (1) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at this track over 1800m. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. RAISE LEGACY (16) stepped out on his debut over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt three weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver who can feature in the finish. VENT D'ESPERANCE (12) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1800m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Cannot be dismissed.
