SAPPORO DIRT   02 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1000m

Track:      

Solid pace with Makani finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. STELLA NOVA (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 6 lengths away in third over 1000m at Kokura Dirt when he was handy all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. IN YOUR EYES (1) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish ninth after being prominent at the bend at her latest appearance over 1200m at Kokura. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. FULGURITE (3) was doing his best work late last start to get up for third over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt. One of the main contenders. MAKANI (11) closed last prep six-and-a-half months ago when she finished 14th over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Should run very well.
