NIIGATA DIRT   10 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Newcomer Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

The entire field is on debut so a strong tempo looks assured over the sprint trip. IDATEN SHACHO (10) is on debut for the Hideyuki Mori stable. Two-year-old colt by Goldencents from Wildcat Belle. Expected to go well, with betting a key indicator. LANCE OF KING (15) is a two-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. Out of Group 3 winner Stillness. Should make a bright start to his career. LADY SUN (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By Pyro and comes from the Toru Kurita stable. Any push in betting should be respected. SLASH CHORD (6) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Keizo Ito. By Mr Melody from Grin Tesoro. Watch the market closely.
