CHUKYO DIRT   31 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Estancia, Air Nigella and Super Chando. ESTANCIA (13) is a eight-start maiden who has been in the money two times. Could only manage fourth at the latest appearance over 1800m at this track. Has recorded two minor placings from five tries at this distance. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Will prove tough to beat. AIR NIGELLA (4) finished third, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track after she was prominent at the bend. Ready to go a couple better. ORIGINAL FINE (7) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1800m at this track when coming back from a break. Tough to stop again. SUPER CHANDO (10) is a 14-start maiden who returned last time and finished eighth at this track over 1800m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
