FUKUSHIMA DIRT   13 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Moderate tempo with Hitamuki leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. SONATAN (15) finished ninth when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Heading in the right direction and is ready to find winning ways. TAKINOBORI (10) finished third, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1700m at this track after he was prominent at the turn. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. TRAIN THE MIND (13) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. ENUMA ELISH (6) resumes from a spell of eight months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
