CHUKYO DIRT   15 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

SHORYU STAKES 1400m

Track:      

Hosho Lux should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. ZENKAI NADAL (9) looks a promising colt. Cleared right out to win by a space on debut when heavily bet. Has upside and can make it back to back wins. HERITAGE BLOOM (7) is yet to miss the frame from five runs including a win this trip. Likely to play a major role. T O GLASER (1) returns from a layoff of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. One to consider. MAGIC COOKIE (10) scored last start at Tokyo Dirt to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Gets back but will wind up late. Deserves respect on best figures.
