TOKYO DIRT   16 May 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

A solid tempo is anticipated with Garden By The Bay and Festive Heart kicking up to hold out the next wave. FORWARD CHASSE (15) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Nakayama, beaten 8 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Better for that run and looks sure to feature in the finish. HOTEL STREET (7) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up. Should run well. OCEAN STELLA (1) finished third first-up at Nakayama Dirt then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at the same venue over 1200m when beaten 4 lengths. The blinkers go on so a brighter run may be on the cards. ACROSS MEMORIA (13) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish 12th at the latest run over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has ability so don't underestimate.
