CHUKYO DIRT   24 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1900m

Track:      

Genuine tempo from Deep Ocean booting up from an inside draw to join Kurino Bergman and Do Justi up front. EDELWEISS (4) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten half a length, over 1900m at this track. Should be winding up late again. DO JUSTI (3) finished 5.5 lengths away in ninth last time out over 1700m at Kokura Dirt when first up from a spell as $3 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. SHORYU ASAHI (16) resumes from a spell of ten weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Launched last prep with a minor placing at Kyoto Dirt over 1900m. Has ability and is a leading player. SPINTRONICS (12) finished third last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
