FUKUSHIMA DIRT   27 Jun 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Plenty of pace from the outset with Squeeze Out and Ten Ounce Gold leading the charge. TEN OUNCE GOLD (14) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt then fought on gamely to finish second. Placed to advantage and can take this out. AOI MIZUHO (3) is still a maiden after nine runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt after he got a long way back in the run. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. STARTS TODAY (15) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. SQUEEZE OUT (8) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1800m at Nakayama. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
