NAKAYAMA DIRT   12 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

From the wide draw Bruges can cross and set up a solid tempo. ON CLOUD NINE (8) has been in the money at the last two runs including last start on March 23 when third over 1800m at this track. Starting to put it all together and looks ready to break through. PIKO SEA (3) is still a maiden after five runs. Was well in commission last time out but after being prominent at the turn didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1800m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. BRUGES (11) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 5 lengths. Ready to run another bold race. GOLD BREEDER (6) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1800m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 7 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Likely improver with solid prospects.
