SAPPORO DIRT   10 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: GOOD      

Strong tempo, primarily from Wunderbar and Lord Amalfi. ONE MOMENTUM (2) debuted seven weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Much better for that run and can get off the mark this time. WUNDERBAR (1) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1800m at Hakodate in a tougher race. Nicely drawn on the fence so she should pay to follow. NYAN TARO (13) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1700m at this track in a tougher race. Jumps from a wide draw but he should be in the finish. LORD AMALFI (6) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 1700m. Don't underestimate.
