TOKYO DIRT   04 May 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 2100m

Track:      

Solid pace on the cards with Gold Motion and Meisho Sommelier who like to get rolling early. MEISHO SOMMELIER (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths over 2200m at Chukyo. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PENETRATE GO (7) was below his best last time when sixth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 11 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. SHILIUSHI (10) finished 11 lengths adrift in 11th last time at Nakayama Dirt in a disappointing performance. Best figures measure up nicely so he can improve. SEIUN GALLEON (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Nakayama Dirt over 2400m. Good enough on his day and can run a bold race.
