NAKAYAMA DIRT   21 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Without a great deal of early pace evident Sky Rex may lead the way over Kosoku Yuno. SKY REX (3) went forward last start over 1800m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 8 lengths. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. AOI MIZUHO (6) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 11 lengths away in ninth last time out over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt four weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Sure to run well. WONDER BLITZ (8) is appearing for the first time. By Chrysoberyl and is out of the T Kubota stable. Watch for a betting push. MEISHO SOLAR (10) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Yusuke Wada. By Danon Legend from Meisho Otowa. Top-three chance.
