TOKYO DIRT   26 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: GOOD      

Pace genuine with Satono Serenade and Yodono Luminous pressing hard closely followed by Illusion and Chase The Way. ATRIUM CHAPEL (1) is fresh from a spell of nine weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track over 1600m. In a different yard now. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MARGOT REVE (2) has been in the market at her last couple of runs since resuming but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m. Can improve sharply. The undefeated SATONO SERENADE (14) returns from a lengthy break for a new stable. Stepping up from NAR to the JRA circuit but suspect she is good enough to handle the transition. ILLUSION (7) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
