CHUKYO DIRT   10 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Plenty of pressure primarily from A Shin Animo, Lokahi and Blue Cerulean. LOKAHI (13) is yet to break through after six career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1700m at Kokura Dirt following a minor placing at Kokura Dirt when fresh from a spell the run prior. Big chance to break through. A SHIN ANIMO (11) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Sure to make his presence felt. T M DAITAKA (4) is a 10-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. LITTLE GIRL BLUE (8) finished 17 lengths away in tenth after being in the firing line on the bend at her last appearance over 2400m at Hanshin on June 22. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
