FUKUSHIMA DIRT   20 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: STANDARD      

They will run this along with Rouge Chouette and Sunset Bright taking it up over Autumn Luce. SUNSET BRIGHT (8) is ready to win after a fourth minor placing last start, finishing second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt when she was handy all the way. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ROUGE CHOUETTE (7) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1700m at Kokura Dirt three months ago. That form puts her right in this. VENUS RISE (10) improved last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BREAK SHOT (12) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fifth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt two weeks ago. Open to plenty of further improvement.
