CHUKYO DIRT   20 Dec 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1900m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Through The Night probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. THROUGH THE NIGHT (4) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at this track. Suitably placed to feature in the finish. NICHT ZU SEHR (5) lines up for the first time since September 14. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. DIGNITE (9) recorded a third consecutive minor placing last time out, finishing third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Going well this prep and is among the leading chances. COSMIC DANCER (16) turned in a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1900m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. At the latest run didn't do much in the run home; ran last of 11 at Kyoto Dirt on October 25 over 1800m, 17 len behind Erika Venezia with 58.0kg at $138.60.
