FUKUSHIMA DIRT   07 Jul 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Strong pace as Bomb Pot pushes forward along with Hains Point from an outside gate. HAINS POINT (12) was thereabouts last time out when second at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m, beaten a head. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Top chance. SUN KALMIA (14) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 4.5 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BOMB POT (5) is a four-start maiden who was close to a win before a three-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Nakayama Dirt. Can pick up where he left off. Among the chances while fresh. K TWO BALBOA (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a three months break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Expect he has come on over the break. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
