FUKUSHIMA DIRT   13 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1150m

Track:      

Loads of pressure, primarily from Masano Hero, Ecoro Bresse and Good Vibes. GOOD VIBES (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. YODONO GOLD (16) returns after a spell of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Has switched to the Shota Nishizono yard. Has ability and should be right in the finish. MIKKI SPINACH (7) finished third as favourite last time out over 1000m at Kokura Dirt, making it two minor placings from three starts this time in work. Suited in this and he is a leading hope. PLEIADES GROUP (12) last appeared on February 2 when a good fifth over 1000m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 1.75 lengths, which was her only run of the campaign. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Solid claims on best form.
