NAKAYAMA DIRT   19 Apr 2026
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: Good      

Slick pace with Ares Tesoro finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. MATENRO HOUR (5) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt following a minor placing at Kyoto Dirt when fresh from a spell the run prior. Terrific chance to break through. AMSUMAT (8) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1800m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JUNE SECRETA (12) has not been sighted since he finished seventh over 1700m at Kokura Dirt on February 15. Hard to knock. GUARDIAN TALE (2) showed early speed from an outside draw when resuming last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish second, beaten 5 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
