NAKAYAMA DIRT   19 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Cosmo Good Luck should find the front with Altitude and Meisho Kobe on his heels. ALTITUDE (13) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Nakayama over 2000m. Can make a winning return in what looks a very shallow maiden. MEISHO KOBE (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1800m at this track. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. The logical danger. HO O SANSAR (1) didn't do a lot on debut three weeks ago, finishing 11 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1800m at this track. Will take a lot from that experience and is worth each-way consideration. ASKCOMMENTALLEZVOU (6) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in fifth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Capable of a top four finish in this company.
