HANSHIN DIRT   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING:

SUMOTO TOKUBETSU 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Solid tempo anticipated with Sutherland heading them off. BERGERONNETTE (7) finished fourth when resuming last start, beaten 4 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring twice from three starts. Well placed and is the one they have to beat. LINEA GLORIA (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run nine weeks ago when third, beaten 2 lengths. Has ability and should be right in the finish. WORDSWORTH (16) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Hard to be too confident but he should be about the money. SUTHERLAND (9) finished fourth at this track and distance at her last appearance 12 weeks ago. Good fresh performer who makes plenty of appeal.
