MORIOKA DIRT   11 Nov 2025
 
GOING:

Race 12 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by J L Bitt. DIONIS (2) goes very well here with two wins from three starts. Rates a winning chance and should get the gun run from the good barrier. J L BITT (4) improved last time out to score by a neck over 1600m at this track. Right in the mix again. ALA MO (3) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has racked up wins at his last three runs, the latest scoring over 1200m at Monbetsu. Going well and can feature again. TUNA STUDY (9) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track when eighth. Tatsunori Sugawara gets the best out of this two-year-old colt. Can figure in the finish this time.
