CHUKYO DIRT   21 Sep 2024
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Sword Knight, Travelin' Band and Idai will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Bol and American Stage. SYLPH'S MISCHIEF (3) returns from the paddock after finishing fourth, beaten 2 lengths, as the favourite on debut in a small field at Kokura 12 weeks ago. Should progress this prep and looks the testing material. AMERICAN STAGE (4) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1800m at this track, finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Big chance based on that effort. TRAVELIN' BAND (15) will find this a little easier than his second on debut three weeks ago, beaten 3 lengths at the end of 1400m at this track. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so he can feature again. BOL (2) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Progressing nicely and shouldn't be a maiden for too much longer.
