FUKUSHIMA DIRT   12 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1700m

Track: STANDARD      

Strong tempo with Spade Un, Piko Ni and Bannerman Tesoro leading the charge. SPADE UN (15) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt when he was prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. NORD OVEST (5) was a most impressive winner last time over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, scoring by 3 lengths as favourite. Likely to be well found in betting again and looks sure to feature. HORATIO (3) lines up for the first time since April 20. Looking to emulate his win at Nakayama Dirt at the beginning of last prep. Can make his presence felt. ARARE TABASHIRU (12) has not won for a long while. Last raced on June 7 when beaten 5.5 lengths into fifth at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m after he was well back on straightening. In the right race and should be about the money.
