TOKYO DIRT 26 Apr 2025
GOING:

Allowance Race 1600m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Y Y Legend.
TURQUOISE FRINGE (14) returns from a spell. Finished second at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep ten weeks ago. Likely to travel just off the speed. Best figures should see him take care of this field. ARIES KING (7) resumes. Raced once last prep and got home narrowly over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Rarely runs a bad race and looks the only real threat to the top pick. MOKKU MOKKU (12) last appeared when down the track over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt last August. Handy on his day and worth an each-way investment. SHONAN KABUTO (3) has been thereabouts in his three runs this prep and is a nice trifecta and first four option.
