CHUKYO DIRT   23 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Small field but expecting a genuine tempo with plenty of pace engaged. CAMINO REAL (7) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m on May 25. Strong chance while fresh. TRE CIME (5) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of 15 months and looking to emulate his win at Tokyo Dirt to kick off the last campaign. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SONG COLLECTOR (6) is back at the races for the first time since June 8. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at this track. One to consider. MEISHO AINA (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when 12 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt at the second run back from a spell. No surprise to see him in the frame.
