CHUKYO DIRT   15 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Huldrefolk to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. RHEIN SIEG (3) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt. Likely improver with winning claims. TAISEI MONOLITH (14) finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt after he was in contention on the bend. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. JAGUAR RISE (5) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt on February 21. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. WHELM (6) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
