FUKUSHIMA DIRT   20 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1150m

Track: STANDARD      

Plenty of early pace with Magic Touch and Bakuretsu Maho to vie for the lead, pressured by Goreijo and All Steal. MIKKI SPINACH (15) is racing well without being able to break through, the latest effort a second over 1000m at Kokura Dirt seven weeks ago. In-form four-year-old entire so a well-deserved win is on the cards. MAGIC TOUCH (12) raced on the speed when resuming last start but peaked on the run to finish sixth over 1150m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Capable of testing this field. ALL STEAL (4) returned to form last start when a close third over this course and distance. Should play a big role again. SOUTHERN LAKE (7) hasn't been far away at her last few runs and is good enough to feature in the finish.
