TOKYO DIRT   02 May 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Miesta, Marmalade Sky and Miya Escape leading the way. MIYA ESCAPE (14) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Lightly raced filly who should be in for a big campaign. MIESTA (1) wasn't far off maiden success before a ten-week break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Nicely drawn on the fence. Rates highly and is a strong chance to take this out. REWARD STERN (12) has not been sighted since she finished eighth over 1400m at this track on February 7. Each-way hope in a modest affair. MARMALADE SKY (2) finished 7 lengths from the winner in fourth at her most recent outing over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Should be about the money.
