FUKUSHIMA DIRT   30 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

IWAKI TOKUBETSU 1700m

Track: STANDARD      

Expecting Buber to bounce to the lead from a low draw. EVER HAPPINESS (9) is a progressive four-year-old filly who resumes from a break of 12 weeks, her last appearance being a win over 1700m at this track at her only run of that campaign. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Leading contender on best figures. SANONO ESPO (3) resumed last time out and finished second over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 1.75 lengths. Best figures read very well. NISHIKIGI MITCHI (4) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Sure to make his presence felt. CLINI CLOWN (10) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Will spot them a start but watch for her late.
