KOKURA DIRT   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

KUMAMOTOJO TOKUBETSU 1700m

Track: MUDDY      

Pace a scorcher, headed by Intenso, Taisei Warrior and Meisho Homare, closely followed by Framlingham and Rising La Paz. FRAMLINGHAM (14) turned in a solid fresh performance last start when a minor placegetter over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a strong record when second-up, including two wins, and is suited getting to the longer journey for the first time. Rates highly on best form and should go very well. INTENSO (10) is a progressive four-year-old entire who resumes from a break of nine weeks, his last appearance being a win over 1800m at Niigata Dirt at his only run of that campaign. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Should give a great sight. MEISHO HOMARE (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 4.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge. RISING LA PAZ (16) has been plain of late but can improve.
