FUKUSHIMA DIRT   13 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1700m

Track:      

Expecting Blitzkrieg to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. GLASS NO BLUES (10) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Kokura Dirt over 1700m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Hard to beat. WONDER COME ON (2) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. The extra journey should play into his hands. Expected to run well. BLITZKRIEG (13) travelled on-pace last time out over 1700m at Kokura Dirt and dug deep when pressured but found one better. Sure to prove hard to run down again. PLUM DANDY (4) returns after a spell of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1700m at this track. One to consider.
