TOKYO DIRT   16 May 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Taiki Blitzen, Amp It Up and Muteki Shacho who can get across. The top four are hard to split. MUTEKI SHACHO (13) resumed last time out and finished second over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Didn't come up last prep so that was an encouraging effort. Key runner. AIR SALOME (4) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Fitter and sure to run well. REALIZE BRIGHT (6) got off the mark over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt last start, scoring by a neck. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders. TAIKI BLITZEN (8) is back from a 12-week spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1600m at this track at the start of last prep. Strong candidate.
