FUKUSHIMA DIRT   26 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: FIRM      

Fireworks should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. OKYOMPI (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the speed. Racing well and there is no reason he cannot salute. BROTHER BEAT (13) remains a maiden after five runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time but after being in the firing line on the corner could only manage to finish fifth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. MATENRO KANALOA (9) remains a maiden after four runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time but could only manage to finish sixth over 1600m at Hanshin. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. DERMA MOON (14) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m, beaten 9 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.
