CHUKYO DIRT   07 Dec 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Hot tempo expected with Butlers Wharf, Saikodane and Point Nemo heading the charge. G T DARLING (4) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1800m at Tokyo, finishing sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Winning rider goes back aboard. Fitter again and expected to feature. POINT NEMO (9) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2.75 lengths. Ready to win and should go well. ARC D'OR (14) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 17 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Course and distance winner. Has a big finish and looks a strong winning hope. EIYU FIRE (1) is back at the races for the first time since September 27. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
