TOKYO DIRT   02 Nov 2025
 
GOING: G

SHUREI STAKES 1300m

Track: GOOD     True  

Gun Wolf should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. DRAGON WELDS (6) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Niigata Dirt to kick off the last campaign. Bets form is while fresh and expected to go close. MARS ODYSSEY (7) is unbeaten this time in, the latest scoring by 3 lengths at this course and distance. Facing a tougher assignment but hard to fault and sure to prove tough to beat again. ECORO AZEL (11) lines up for the first time since August 14. Has won three races in career and worth noting all three have been while fresh. Looks a strong top-three prospect. GUN WOLF (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Course and distance winner fitter and will take catching.
