HAKODATE DIRT   16 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: STANDARD      

Off the inside draw Ilana should bounce straight to the lead and set a solid tempo. LOVELY SIGN (5) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt when she was always up in the leading division. Well placed and there is no reason why she cannot find winning ways. PRASENTIER (13) did a good job last start to finish second at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m, beaten half a length. Cherry-ripe now. Sure to go well. MEISHO KOROGI (2) fought on for second last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, making it two minor placings in a row. Looks well placed in this line-up so expect another big run. ILANA (1) resumes from a spell of nine weeks and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Inside draw will assist and can kick off with a bold showing.
