SAPPORO DIRT   03 Aug 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: STANDARD      

From the wide gate Bellagio Rao should cross and lead. BELLAGIO RAO (13) resumes from a spell of four months. Looked close to a win before that break. Opened last prep with a minor placing at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m. Ready for a bold run. LORD INFERNO (8) is still a maiden after nine starts. Could only manage to finish eighth last time out over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt following a minor placing at the same track over 2100m the run prior. Likely to be about the money. FEASIBILITY (14) went forward last start and gave a great sight when third over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Should be prominent despite the wide draw and be in this for a long way. CRESCO THUNDER (1) took advantage of the good draw and raced on the pace last start before tiring to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
