TOKYO DIRT   01 Jun 2025
 
GOING: M

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Ashaka Luke has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. CAFE BOUQUET (15) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KYOEI SE LEVE (12) finished third, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track after he was prominent at the turn. Placed to advantage and can take this out. SOUND LIEN (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Fitter and sure to run well. CELATONE (9) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 9 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt after he got a long way back in the run. Worth including in this suitable contest.
