TOKYO DIRT   21 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

KAMAKURA STAKES 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Genuine tempo with Bagradas leading the way. BAGRADAS (2) returns from a spell. Finished second at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Expecting a bold showing. PLATINUM JUBILEE (9) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on January 27 when eighth, beaten 2 lengths. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and two minor placings from six runs. Expected to go very well. LORD FONS (13) is a three-time winner who has been racing well, scoring by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Rates highly and should be in the mix. IVORY DRESS (1) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on January 27 when seventh, beaten 1.75 lengths. Has to be respected.
