NIIGATA DIRT   28 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Jolly Roger and Crown Coulomb will press forward early in a keen battle for top spot. JOLLY ROGER (3) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Set to return in style. DICHROITE (13) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TAIGANO ITTEKI (10) stepped out on his debut over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt three weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement. HIGH GOOD WORLD (7) finished 4 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt on April 7. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.
