CHUKYO DIRT   26 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Plenty of speed from Point Nemo and Curren What's Up. T O MARCONI (8) was well in commission last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt when fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. CURREN WHAT'S UP (7) lines up for the first time since May 24. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Has found a suitable race. SYDNEY HOBART (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but was below par last time when out of the placings at Listed level at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. PERFECT (4) is back from a spell of three months. Scored a good win at his final run last preparation at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m. Definite top-three chance.
