TOKYO DIRT   26 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

OASIS STAKES(L) 1600m

Track:      

Protoporos should find the front with Ogino Kaname and Don In The Mood on his heels. DON IN THE MOOD (3) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four starts. Expect him to go close. PERRIERE (12) finished tenth over 1600m in the G1 February Stakes at this track at his most recent appearance on February 22. Boasts a first-up record of five wins and two placings from 12 starts. Last two have been at the top level and should run well this lesser grade. T O PASSWORD (16) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on January 25, finishing tenth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1800m in the G2 Procyon Stakes at Kyoto Dirt. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. ADMIRE DAYTONA (6) is a fresh-up winner resuming. Among the leading players on best figures.
