FUKUSHIMA DIRT   21 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: FIRM      

Look for a strong early tempo with R Trust setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by We Will Win. KANEKOME FAMILY (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Kokura Dirt over 1700m after being prominent from the outset. Likely improver with strong prospects. WE WILL WIN (1) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 4 lengths back in third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Ready to go a couple better. MEINER TOURNAI (10) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1700m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at Hanshin Dirt the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. OMOKAGE JO (5) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1700m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
