TOKYO DIRT   11 May 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1600m

Track: FIRM      

Tenku Joe, Adelante and Stanley Tesoro to take up the running at a decent tempo. UNQUENCHABLE (2) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when tenth and beaten 17 lengths over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Yet to miss the placings from four starts here and is suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CAPITAL SAX (7) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Likely improver with strong prospects. ADELANTE (5) finished fourth over 1600m at this circuit when resuming last start, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Fitter so expect a better run this time. SPRAY FALL (9) registered a strong win two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
