SAPPORO DIRT   24 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Ten Fresh should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. B B BERZERK (4) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1700m at this track. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. JO DOLIUM (10) finished just a neck from the winner in second last start over 1700m at this track after racing in the leading division. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. OKYOMPI (7) is yet to break through in nine runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1700m at this track on August 10. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. ENJOY DRIVE (14) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
