TOKYO DIRT   18 May 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo set by Represent and Stjarn Gosse who are both capable of leading. REPRESENT (13) is a promising four-year-old entire who returned from a break last start and finished a neck away in second over 1400m at this track. Likely to hold that form. Leading player. SHONAN OBVIOUS (14) was prominent from the outset when second over 1300m at this track last time out. Has been a model of consistency in the past two campaigns. Expected to be in the finish again. STJARN GOSSE (5) missed the placings first-up recently but was not too far from the winner when fifth over 1400m at this track. Reunites with Lemaire who has a win when partnering. Likely improver with strong claims. SEKITEI O (11) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at Niigata Dirt, beaten just 1.3 lengths. Coming along nicely and is a strong top-three prospect.
