NIIGATA DIRT   13 Aug 2022
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

No place for the faint-hearted with Angel Stair and Lock On Aim flying along early. TAHITIAN DANCE (7) is a promising galloper who resumes from a 14-week break. Last raced when second over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt after racing on the speed. Has scored first-up from a spell before and will prove tough to beat. BELL KA NOA (2) broke her maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 1.3 lengths into second over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Leading contender. QUEEN'S MIMOSA (4) raced below par at her last appearance three months ago when fourth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Usual rider Yutaro Nonaka engaged again. Should be involved here on her best form. ZULU (12) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fifth, beaten 7 lengths, when resuming over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Fitter and can feature in the finish.
