NIIGATA DIRT   12 Oct 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Good early pressure with Freedom Reign, Cam Ranh Bay and Crown Sienta to vie for the lead. CROWN SIENTA (11) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from three starts, finishing one length away in second most recently over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Great chance to take this out. CAM RANH BAY (7) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten half a length into second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. FREEDOM REIGN (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at Chukyo, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is up to the task. HAGINO INSPIRE (10) finished fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when tackling a dirt track for the first time last start at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m. Must be included.
