CHUKYO DIRT   23 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Genuine tempo with Interurban to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SCHONE AUGEN (11) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing second over 1800m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. INTERURBAN (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when one length away in second over 1700m at Kokura Dirt when he was always up in the leading division. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. T M DAITAKA (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Solid top-three claims. A SHIN ANIMO (6) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1800m at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
