TOKYO DIRT   25 Apr 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: FIRM      

Genuine tempo from Hasty Heart leading Master Stone. COCO LASSI (13) is yet to break through in seven runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 5 lengths away in fifth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt last time. Best figures stack up and looks well placed to get off the mark. HASTY HEART (5) has been in the money at both runs this time in, the latest effort a third over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Should appreciate the extra ground. Among the major players. CAFE SHOOTER (4) is a three-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. From a family of winners, being by New Year's Day from Cafe Himiko. Importantly has a nice gate and looks certain to be competitive. MASTER STONE (9) finished 7 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt on April 5. Appeals as a top-four contender.
