NAKAYAMA DIRT   16 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

A solid tempo on the cards with Dubai Blues leading the way. BARONESSA (5) tackled a dirt track for the first time last start and finished second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Progressive filly who has a terrific chance to find the winner’s list. PIKO NI (1) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey at Niigata Dirt before finishing second, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. DIOGENITE (2) last appeared when fifth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt 11 weeks ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Has to be respected. DUBAI BLUES (11) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on May 4, finishing 11th and beaten 5.5 lengths over 2000m in Listed grade at Tokyo. Has a high cruising speed. Should give backers a sight.
