CHUKYO DIRT   10 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1900m

Track: FIRM      

Good early pressure with Mozu Bandit or Tomoja Chic likely to take up the running. SUNRISE SUGAR (7) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last three-and-a-half months ago when he scored over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Best figures measure up favourably. EIYU FIRE (4) finished fourth last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Hard to go past. TAISEI KAISER (3) resumes after a break of four months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1800m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. TEN ACE ONE (6) is back at the races for the first time since May 10. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
