KOKURA DIRT   13 Aug 2022
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1000m

Track: FIRM   Fine    

Expecting a very strong tempo with lots of early pressure, predominantly from Ginno Kamikazari, Aster Monogon and T M Fellow. T M FELLOW (6) is overdue after three straight minor placings, the latest when narrowly defeated over 1000m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. COCO SYLPHEED (14) was safely held last time out when sixth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt nine weeks back. Very speedy and should appreciate this trip. Likely to be prominent. SUNRISE TITAN (9) is racing well without winning. Last start finished sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Must be respected. FIORI KAZUMA (2) is a six-start maiden who looks poised to break the ice, the latest effort a close second over 1000m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. One of the better hopes.
