TOKYO DIRT   04 May 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track:      

From wide out Jasper Novel can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. GABBY'S BROTHER (16) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Has a wide gate to overcome but he is a key runner. SADIQ (13) lines up for the first time since March 2. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. KUNINO HAPPY (2) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has never missed the frame second up. Fitter and sure to run well. COCHE DELI (9) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found a forward position then knocked up in the straight to finish ninth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Worth including.
