TOKYO DIRT 04 May 2024

GOING: G

Allowance Race 1600m Track: FIRM
Genuine tempo with the speedy Lap Star crossing from the outside gate. HRUNGNIR (3) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Likely improver with strong prospects. LAP STAR (13) raced up on the pace and went on to score by a head when resuming last time out over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Can cross from an awkward gate. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. AURA BILLS (8) is a promising galloper who got the prize at his only run last prep 12 weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Should be involved in the finish. COBRA (9) returned from a spell six weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
