TOKYO DIRT   25 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

KAMAKURA STAKES 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Solid tempo likely from Fusetsu and Innocent Cat. MEISHO HACHIRO (4) returns from a spell. Finished second at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep ten weeks ago. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts. Looks certain to be in the finish. BENNU (5) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 11th over 1400m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Best form puts him right in this. PEISHA CAPE (15) is back after a break of nine weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1300m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. WANDERER (14) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
