SAPPORO DIRT   30 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Olopatadine should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. HO O SAMRET (11) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1700m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. TRIPLETE (2) has been in the placings four times from 14 outings. Last start finished fourth over 1700m at this track. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Has the ability to take this out. DOLCE RETURN (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 13 lengths when fifth in a 2400m contest at Hakodate Dirt six weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ON CLOUD NINE (12) is a nine-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1700m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix.
