FUKUSHIMA DIRT   20 Apr 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1700m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from Quattro Jack and Mee Huapala. QUATTRO JACK (13) finished 10 lengths away in 11th last time out over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt after being prominent at the corner five weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Expected to cross from wide out. Expected to be in the finish. YAMANIN QUICKER (2) returns after a spell of six months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Rates highly and should take some beating. COSMO FREDDIE (15) finished 4.5 lengths adrift in tenth last time at Chukyo Dirt in a disappointing performance. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. THE ROCK (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Chukyo Dirt over 1900m. Good enough on his day and can fill a top-three spot.
