NAKAYAMA DIRT   07 Sep 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo anticipated with Daimei Nagasu taking charge. KITANO LIVELY (16) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TAKKA VALIANT (9) has filled a minor placing on four occasions in 10 starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fifth over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt. Has recorded three minor placings from seven tries at this distance. Worth including. TOUCH DOWN (14) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. AOI HANAMICHI (15) was in the money at Niigata Dirt when resuming two runs back then could only manage fifth at Niigata Dirt over 1200m two weeks ago. Backmarker who gets home hard. Chance on best figures and worth including.
