NAKAYAMA DIRT   13 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

INZAI TOKUBETSU 2400m

Track:      

Solid tempo set by Cosmo Gin Buck and Lord Blaze. COSMO GIN BUCK (11) continues to race well with a win two back at Kokura Dirt before finishing one length away in second last time over 2400m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. AMBER DOLL (4) resumed over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt last time out and finished second, beaten 3 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and is suited getting to the longer journey for the first time. Can feature with the right run. SOUL AND JAZZ (3) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when sixth over 2400m at this track, beaten 11 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. LORD BLAZE (8) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was in contention on the corner before being beaten 7 lengths into fourth over 2400m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
