SAPPORO DIRT   30 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

CHITOSE TOKUBETSU 1700m

Track:      

Sand Blast has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. BENNU (7) is a promising galloper who won at his only run last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Unbeaten in two starts when fresh. Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. REALIZE CAMION (6) did a great job to score by 3.5 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. TAISEI MISSION (10) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1700m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SAND BLAST (8) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 27/04/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Should be prominent from the outset. Must be respected.
