NIIGATA DIRT   13 Aug 2022
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

A strong tempo assured with Queen Catherine and Aokami leading the charge. BLANC CHAUSSETTES (6) resumes from a spell of nine weeks after closing off last preparation with four consecutive minor placings. Goes well at this distance with two minor placings from four tries. Sure to feature. AOKAMI (8) is a eight-start maiden who has been in the money five times. Could only manage fourth at the latest appearance over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt after a bold mid-race move. Among the leading chances. QUEEN CATHERINE (5) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Drawn to stalk the leaders. One to consider. TENKUNO TSUBASA (11) ran sixth at his latest appearance over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt, finishing 9 lengths from the winner. One of the better chances if he brings his best form.
