CHUKYO DIRT   26 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

From the wide draw Tamamo Masayume can cross and set the tempo in a race without genuine pace. LATERITE (7) did a good job last start to finish second at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m, beaten a nose. Should be at her peak now after finishing in the money at all three starts this time in work. Among the leading chances. REAL SAFARI (2) finished ninth over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt at her most recent appearance on May 18. Comes here with definite claims despite the gap between runs. TAMAMO MASAYUME (14) is a four-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Hanshin Dirt at the last run before spelling. Jockey Kanta Taguchi back aboard. Among the chances while fresh. OLIVIA SUNRISE (1) finished second last time over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
