TOKYO DIRT   01 Jun 2025
 
GOING: M

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Slick pace with Rhatische finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. DRAGON (9) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when sixth over 1900m in the G2 UAE Derby at Meydan Dirt. Last two have been in much tougher grade and has a win and a second the other two starts. Will go close. RHATISCHE (3) finished 14th two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Lane goes aboard and drawn to lead. Take catching. MARS ODYSSEY (4) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the bend at Tokyo, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths starting at $8.80. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MERCI JE T'AIME (7) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, collecting a 1400m contest at this track by 1.5 lengths. One of the key chances.
