FUKUSHIMA DIRT   20 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Tamamo Jasmine to set a strong tempo joined by Arc Eternity pressing on from an outside draw. MRS LILY (5) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 1.75 lengths back in third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. TAMAMO JASMINE (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 10 lengths away in third over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PIKO PINK (9) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. QUEEN'S MERENGUE (8) has not raced since her debut back on January 25 when she finished fourth over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Expected to be right there at the business end.
