NAKAYAMA DIRT   19 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

From the outside gate Magma Ocean can cross and take up the running. NEO SILVER (9) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1800m at this track, beaten 4 lengths at the first run in twenty weeks. Likely contender with that run under his belt. MARINE BUNKER (4) ran above expectations and got up for third at long odds at his latest appearance at this track over 1800m. Good signs last time and can play a major role. MAGMA OCEAN (14) resumed over 2400m at Tokyo last start when he sat close to the lead before fading in the straight to finish 11th, beaten 5.5 lengths. Fitter and can improve. WOOD SHOCK (7) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1800m at this track. Each-way prospects.
