HAKODATE DIRT   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 2400m

Track: STANDARD      

Cross The Rubicon and Armalcolite to roll forward and dictate the tempo. ARMALCOLITE (8) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt, scoring by a neck. Took a while to break the ice but there is no reason he cannot get the job done again. CROSS THE RUBICON (9) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on March 10 finishing tenth and beaten 15 lengths over 2400m at Nakayama Dirt. Should park just off the speed. Expecting a bold showing if near his best. SATONO RAISE (10) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Tokyo Dirt over 2100m last time, finishing eighth and beaten 15 lengths. Well placed to bounce back. FRONTAL JEDI (2) lines up for the first time since March 10. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2400m at Fukushima Dirt. Can make his presence felt.
