FUKUSHIMA DIRT   13 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

No recognised leader on paper but Nike Iris has the pace to take it up despite a wide gate. MEISHO BASQUE (4) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. MISA BISCUITS (6) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Well placed and a great chance to break through. ERBA STELLA (15) resumes from a spell of three months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. One of the leading chances. NAMURA PERLE (9) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1800m at Tokyo. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
