NAKAYAMA DIRT   12 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Expecting a strong pace headed by Gold Blaze, Meiner Mistral and Teruken Lensky. PLAYMAKER (7) returned from a break of two months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Speedy type who led until the final stages fresh. Take catching. CYMOPHANE (8) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Rates highly and should take some beating. SISTEMA SOLAR (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Strips fitter and can feature. GOLD BLAZE (9) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1800m last time, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths. Worth another chance.

Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
