TOKYO DIRT   26 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 2100m

Track: GOOD      

Expecting a solid tempo set up by Aufwind crossing from the outside stall. DAKARA FESTIVE (12) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Looks a winning chance. AUFWIND (16) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 5 lengths away in second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. SEISUI MILLION (1) made late ground but never threatened when sixth on debut last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Likely improver who can play a big role. PLAY THAT SONG (13) resumes from an eleven-week spell. Yet to show anything but in a race with a long tail can squeeze into the top four.
