KOKURA DIRT   30 Jun 2024
 
GOING: M

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: FIRM      

Plenty of early pressure primarily from Hosho Lina, Metal Heart and Mozu Yuiyui. MOZU YUIYUI (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HOSHO LINA (7) was prominent in betting when back from a break last start but could only manage to finish 11th over 1800m at Kyoto. Was in the placings at her only other second-up run. Should park just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. HOLGER DANSKE (2) is a four-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent outing over 1800m at Kyoto after he gave away a big start. Worth including in this suitable contest. TOLLER (16) is progressing well, last time out finishing second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to take this out.
