FUKUSHIMA DIRT   21 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1150m

Track: FIRM      

Very keen early battle with Loveliest and Mr D J matching motors and there are a few others that can keep them busy. MISUERU (14) was prominent at the turn and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1150m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. NISHINO SIEG (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt after being in the firing line all the way. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MR D J (3) pushed forward on debut last start and boxed on to finish third over 1150m at this track. Will be hard to run down again. WORK SONG (15) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 3 lengths. Worth considering.
