KOKURA DIRT   28 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1700m

Track:      

A solid tempo from Mission Loose, Serge Barows and Intime all kicking up to take advantage of their low draws. BLACK LEGEND (12) is back at the races for the first time since April 25. Course and distance winner and placed only try fresh. Looks a winning chance. INTIME (3) impressed when successful on debut over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt ten weeks ago and has not been produced since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. SERGE BAROWS (8) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 22 lengths away in 12th over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on April 5. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be competitive. MIRANDE (1) has not raced since he scored over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on March 15. Definite player.
