NAKAYAMA DIRT   13 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with New Found probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. SHINY SHIP (8) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1800m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. REVERSE THE TREND (5) is a progressive three-year-old filly who resumes from a break of three months, her last appearance being a win over 1800m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and is expected to be in the finish. NEW FOUND (6) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1800m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. KYOEI TAIKO (9) was safely held when resuming last start over 1800m in the G3 Flower Cup at Nakayama, finishing 12th and beaten 10 lengths. Significant class drop this time. Well placed and expected to measure up. Among the top-three hopes.
