CHUKYO DIRT   07 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Expecting Libeccio to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. AMERICAN ISM (2) looks the one to beat. Made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. LIBECCIO (3) raced once in the maiden preparation when tenth at Fukushima over 1800m back on June 29. Can improve sharply and is expected to feature. STRADONE (11) stepped out for his debut over 1800m at Hanshin back on September 21 and finished seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Resuming in easier. Plenty of scope for improvement. EKVATOR (4) stepped out on his debut over 2000m at Kyoto three weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 9 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end.
