Nakayama Race 12 - 2024 Farewell Stakes

AMERICAN MARCH (15) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Sure to go well again. KEIAI ANIRA (8) held on well to finish third last start over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 1.1 lengths when fresh from a spell. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ECORO ARES (10) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. One to consider. YOKAI DISCO (12) is a distance specialist who turned things around last start and got the job done by 2 lengths over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Well placed to feature in the finish again.

Comes here off a 49-day let-up. Last start won by 2 len at Kyoto Dirt November 3 over 1200m defeating Meisho Taigei with 55.0kg at $7.20. Before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 11 at Tokyo Dirt on October 13 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Gun Wolf carrying 55.0kg at $11.40. Can get the job done again.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 13 at Tokyo on November 17 over 1600m, 14 len behind Legatus with 54.0kg at $95.30. The start before that second last of 14 at Tokyo on October 14 over 1400m, 8 len behind Sonshi with 54.0kg at $32.80. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Racing well. Last start favourite; won by 1.3 len at this track December 1 over 1200m defeating Shonan Obvious carrying 57.0kg at $3.40. The start before that favourite; won by 3.5 len at Fukushima Dirt November 3 over 1150m defeating Eifer Bear with 57.0kg at $1.50. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.
