NIIGATA DIRT   09 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Seiun Legame to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SATONO VOYAGE (1) will find this a little easier than his second on debut eight weeks ago, beaten 1.5 lengths at the end of 1200m at Hanshin. Aided by the rails draw so he will be hard to beat. GRATIAM (15) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt when second, beaten half a length. Likely improver so she should be in the finish again. MOVING UP (12) debuted four weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under his belt. CHURA VEIL (5) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten 5 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
