NAKAYAMA   07 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 2880m

Track:      

T O RICARDO (3) has placed all three starts so far over the jumps. Bursting to win and looks the one to beat. ASK ON DEEP (5) has had two starts over the jumps and improved sharply last time out to place. Further improved and looks a top chance to break through. Same goes for TOA MARISHITEN (2) who has placed at both runs this time in. Ready to peak and will take catching. GOLDEN ROOKIE (9) was unplaced two back in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Filled a minor prize last time in a much better performance in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima, beaten half a length. Worth including.
