KOKURA DIRT   22 Feb 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1000m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure with Abflug, Place Dauphine and Crazy Dis leading the charge. STJARN GOSSE (7) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track. This looks an ideal assignment. PALAIS FAUCON (3) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Among the leading chances. PLACE DAUPHINE (5) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when sixth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. SIRIUS (6) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1000m at this track when fresh from a spell. Has a high cruising speed. Solid claims on best form.
