TOKYO DIRT   20 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Sakura D'or has good gate speed and likely to set a genuine tempo with the advantage of the inside draw. SAKURA D'OR (1) produced a good effort last start when second over 1400m at this track to make it two minor placings in succession. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Will prove tough to beat. RAISE LEGACY (14) finished second last time out over 1400m at this track, making it two career minor placings which have both come at this circuit. A maiden win looks imminent. BLUE METEOR (7) finished third over 1400m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1400m at this track. Has a strong finish and is among the winning hopes. SEKITEI ROCKS (8) finished second first-up at this track then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fifth at this track over 1300m when beaten 6 lengths. Can bounce back.
