NAKAYAMA DIRT   18 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Lord Stellato taking charge. XEROGRAPHICA (6) stuck on well to finish third last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths, at the first appearance in eight weeks. Strips fitter so anticipating another big run. GO FOR BROKE (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1800m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LORD STELLATO (11) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Nicely placed to get the prize. SAKURA D'OR (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 7 lengths into fourth over 1800m at this track. Fitter so should offer a bit more this time.

Comes here off a 48-day let-up. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 16 at this track on March 1 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Atlas Tesoro with 57.0kg at $3.50. The race before that faded in the straight 7th of 13 at Tokyo Dirt on February 1 over 2100m, 13 len behind Or Bright carrying 55.0kg at $4.70. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
