NIIGATA DIRT   05 May 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Yorina Espoir has good early speed and can negate the outside draw. BEL BEST RUNNER (1) did a good job last start to finish third at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m, beaten 1.3 lengths. No excuses from this draw; leading player. REGATTA (2) ran below expectations last time at Chukyo Dirt, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $7. Likely improver with strong prospects. KITSUNENO YOMEIRI (7) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt after being in contention on the bend. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. MIRAIENO CALL (12) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 2000m at Fukushima. Should prove tough to hold out.
