CHUKYO DIRT   28 Sep 2024
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Piko Ni and Marine Bunker to set a decent tempo. KING OF FUJI (4) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. PIKO NI (3) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw last start and led for home before finishing second over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Well-placed and should be tough to rein in again. RED LIBERTA (1) has not appeared since he finished fourth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt on July 21. Looks a strong top-three prospect. MARINE BUNKER (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver.
