KOKURA DIRT   07 Jul 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

A strong gallop is likely with Silvery Moon and Namura Lena taking up the running, closely attended by Dame Sunrise and Highway Star. HIGHWAY STAR (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Will be up on the speed from the low draw. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SILVERY MOON (10) is back after a break of eight months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1800m at Kyoto. Nicely placed and expected to go well. OTEMBAMUSUME (15) was in the money two starts back at Kyoto Dirt then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Best form stacks up and she is among the chances. DAME SUNRISE (16) is yet to break through after four starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Should be camped just off the leaders. Can sneak into the finish.
