CHUKYO DIRT   21 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

COLD MOON STAKES 1400m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Meisho Kaze Machi, Y Y Legend and Protoporos leading the charge. DANON FIGO (15) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Loves the trip and in fine form. Great chance to win again. STAR TURN (12) has lifted strongly to place at both runs this time in. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat. Y Y LEGEND (8) is already a course and distance winner. Continues to race well and looks a major player on recent form. LOGI ADELAIDE (6) finished third last time over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 1.75 lengths. Should be near his top and placed 2/3 third-up. Going well and among the main hopes.
