SAPPORO DIRT   13 Aug 2022
 
GOING: G

TVh SHO 1700m

Track: MUDDY      

Fast tempo assured with Nine To Five, Eclaircie and Ocea Dynasty going at each other early in the piece. DURA MONDO (6) tackled a dirt track for the first time and continued the good form when he found one better over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt at the most recent appearance nice weeks ago. Strong fresh performer who will be very hard to stop. PEISHA Q (2) was prominent from the outset when second over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt last time out at the first run of this campaign. Has a solid record here over this journey. Fitter and should give a great sight. MEINER COURONNE (10) is back from a spell after closing last campaign with a couple of wins, the latest over 1800m at Niigata Dirt on May 28. Should park just off the speed and has winning claims on best figures. NINE TO FIVE (4) returned from a break of almost a year with a solid third last start at Sapporo over 1200m. Steps up sharply in trip today. Drawn to go forward and is certainly in the mix.
