FUKUSHIMA DIRT   06 Jul 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1150m

Track: FIRM      

Kitano Lively should use the inside draw to advantage and lead with Idol and Dream Encore. KITANO LIVELY (1) is a genuine type with five minor placings from six starts this prep. Was in the firing line all the way and finished a long neck from the winner in third at the latest outing over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. IDOL (13) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the bend at Tokyo Dirt, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths starting at $4.90. Looks the obvious threat. MEET THE TARGET (5) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.1 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PETER RISE (16) finished third last time over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has to be considered.
