FUKUSHIMA DIRT   30 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: STANDARD      

Off the low draw Buster Wolf is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. BUSTER WOLF (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m after being prominent from the outset. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ALVIA (14) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 15 lengths away in tenth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. GRASS FELLOW (4) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. BALDANZA (7) is a three-year-old colt on debut. From a successful breeding line, being by Dream Valentino from Queen Kiseki. Promising type who is ready to run boldly.
