TOKYO DIRT   21 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1600m

Track: STANDARD      

Certain to be a strong tempo with Takeru Pegasus, Pick Up Line and Wayward Act leading the charge. WAYWARD ACT (13) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and went on to score by 2.5 lengths at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m. Will prove very tough to beat. TAKERU PEGASUS (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run ten weeks ago when sixth, beaten 7 lengths. Expect him to play a major role. SHIGERU SOROSORO (12) made significant late ground last start to get up for second over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Should be winding up late again. PICK UP LINE (8) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
