NAKAYAMA DIRT   21 Sep 2026
 
GOING:

NOKOGIRIYAMA TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track:      

Feel Awesome and Wunderbar possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. WUNDERBAR (14) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from three tries. Tough gate but has good early speed and expected to take running down. FEEL AWESOME (6) was prominent from the outset when second over 1800m at Niigata Dirt last time out. Form here at this trip is sound. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Best form puts her right in this. PERSUADE (3) is a genuine four-year-old filly who resumed with a solid second last time out at Niigata Dirt over 1800m. Among the leading chances. LOISTAA (11) was safely held when resuming last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, finishing 12th and beaten 14 lengths. Settles back early but winds up late. Solid claims on best form.
