CHUKYO DIRT   29 Sep 2024
 
GOING:

SHIRAKAWAGO STAKES 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Very keen early battle with Cordon Rouge and Daimei Seven matching motors and there are a few others that can keep them busy. DEEP REBORN (15) is a promising galloper who saluted at his last run before a break three-and-a-half months ago over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Has a strong fresh record including a win and two minor placings. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. G CYCLONE (9) is a talented colt who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1800m in the G3 Leopard Stakes at Niigata Dirt. Form this campaign has been strong with three wins to his credit. Sure to run well. HABIRE (4) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his fifth two starts back in the G3 Leopard Stakes at Niigata Dirt with success as public elect over 1800m at Niigata Dirt four weeks ago, getting home by a neck. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. RICHER (1) raced below his best last time when 12th over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
