NAKAYAMA DIRT   05 Apr 2025
 
GOING: M

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Anticipate Okyompi, Brother Beat and Kawakita Hoku Lea to set a strong tempo. OKYOMPI (5) finished third last start over 1800m at this track to make it two minor placings in succession, both at this track and distance. Has the ability to take this out. BROTHER BEAT (2) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.7 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at this track. Nice alley assists. Looks well placed so expect another bold performance. LUX ECLAIR (6) returned last time with a solid second at this track over 1800m. Heading the right way now and is a winning hope. NATURE'S LAW (3) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished fifth over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Sure to measure up this time in work.
