SAPPORO DIRT   26 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1000m

Track:      

Coccolare and Angel Ladder should set a strong clip. ANGEL LADDER (9) was unplaced first up but has since been on the money on two consecutive occasions, the latest when second over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to prove too good for these. COCCOLARE (7) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt when she was always up in the leading division. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. LEIA POPO (5) is a seven-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Hakodate Dirt over 1000m, beaten 11 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. LAPILLUS IMERU (12) finished third last time over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid claims.
