HAKODATE DIRT   06 Jul 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track: MUDDY      

Expecting Dolce Return to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. NARITA HIKARI (6) improved last time out, finishing a nose from the winner in second at the end of 1700m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHEVAL NOIR (8) made progress last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1700m at this track. Anticipating another big run. OKYOMPI (2) is a three-year-old colt who is still a maiden after seven starts but has been in the placings three times. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1700m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. One of the main contenders. DOLCE RETURN (12) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Kyoto but disappointed last time when 12th, beaten 9 lengths, at Hakodate over 2000m. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
