NIIGATA DIRT   08 Aug 2026
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo expected primarily from Love And Like and Mjuk Chelsea. Quite a few in the mix. REVERSE THE TREND (4) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Turned in a fair effort at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m at her only run last prep, finishing fourth and beaten 1.4 lengths. Should settle handy in the run. Leading contender. DEPENDABLE (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 4.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. LOVE AND LIKE (9) last appeared when she finished fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt on December 21. Has found the right race and is worth including. SAIMON SERENO (14) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, scoring by 4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer.
