TOKYO DIRT   03 May 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: YIELDING      

Strong pace with Alvarez, Elim and Luxe Leon pushing across. NORD OVEST (12) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SATONO ARPEGGIO (13) lines up for the first time since February 16. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Has found the right race. MONACO BULL (15) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FLIPPER (16) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 22 when beaten 5.5 lengths into eighth at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m after being prominent until the final stages. Likely improver who should be thereabouts.
