TOKYO DIRT   01 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

KUMPU STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Fujimasa Teio. TURQUOISE FRINGE (9) turned in a fine effort to score by 2 lengths at this course and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. TERRIFIC PLAN (11) didn't fire over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Nicely placed to make amends. RATA FOREST (5) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last time out. Going up a level this time but he can win again. DANON THE VOLCANO (15) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track when he worked home well, beaten 6 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
