NAKAYAMA   14 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

KASUMIGAURA TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track:      

Good pace from Yamanin Ad Hoc, Igatchi and Dantsu Fighter going forward. IGATCHI (12) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fourth at Kyoto two starts back then scored by 1.5 lengths last time out after being in the firing line on the corner over 2000m at Fukushima. Finds a tougher race but leading rider goes aboard and fitter again. Can go on with it. LADY MYKONOS (9) resumed last time out and finished second over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten a head. Fitter and won't have to improve much to feature again. Best form puts her right in this. DUCATO (10) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 2000m on September 28. Has found the right race and is worth including. FUNADE (11) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Only raced once last campaign which was a narrow defeat over 2000m at Niigata. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Deserves respect on best figures.
