TOKYO DIRT   20 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1300m

Track: FIRM      

The speedy Abrams should find the front with Cherish and Neo Etoilee on his heels. ABRAMS (8) managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back before finishing seventh over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt last start. Finds a nice race and gets the chance to break through. JET BREAK (5) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Draws a good gate for a change. Leading player again. T M BIG SIR (7) did little and finished 9 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at the same track the run before. Can bounce back. NEO ETOILEE (12) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 16 lengths when eighth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. A better run is on the cards.
