KOKURA DIRT   06 Jul 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1700m

Track: STANDARD      

Expecting a strong pace headed by Danon Vestal, Black Dress and June Eos. T O MARCONI (9) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. DANON VESTAL (11) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt on February 23 which was the only run of that prep. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Among the leading chances. AMERICAN CHIEF (5) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Fukushima Dirt over 1700m on April 20. Definite top-three chance. T O MILLIKAN (2) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 6 lengths, after a win at the same track at the previous outing. In the mix.
