SAPPORO DIRT   03 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Good speed from Enjoy Drive, The Hunt and G T Pharaoh. EPOCA RINA (14) is going well with three minor placings from four starts this prep. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. THE HUNT (8) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt following a minor placing at Hakodate Dirt over 1700m the run prior. Should be in the mix. G T PHARAOH (4) wasn't far off maiden success before a four months break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at Hanshin Dirt. Can pick up where he left off. Nicely placed and can kick this campaign off on a bright note. ENJOY DRIVE (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 10 lengths away in eighth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. No surprise to see him in the mix.
