HAKODATE DIRT 23 Jun 2024

GOING: G

ONUMA STAKES(L) 1700m Track:
From the wide stall T O Drefong should cross and lead. T O DREFONG (11) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Chukyo Dirt when returning from a spell last prep. Comes here with definite claims. ACTION PLAN (7) didn't do a bad job to finish a long neck away in third last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. That followed a first-up win at Nakayama Dirt. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LE CORSAIRE (14) is back from a break of nine months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when 13th over 1600m at Listed level at Tokyo Dirt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset and shapes as one of the main contenders. Multiple Grade 3 placegetter BATTLE CRY (13) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Strips fitter now and is capable of featuring.
