NAKAYAMA DIRT   15 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

No recognised leader on paper but Salsa Brava has the pace to take it up despite a wide gate. TORNADO ISLE (7) returned last time with a solid third at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. NAC SPLENDOR (11) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Proving a good combination with Y Yoshida with three straight placings. Sure to play a big role. BLAZE RUNNER (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1800m. Nice alley so must be a leading chance again. TAKERU MUSASHI (8) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 11 lengths at Tokyo Dirt over 2100m. Should be in the mix in this suitable race.
