NIIGATA DIRT   24 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Jurista is the likely leader at a slick tempo. JURISTA (2) is ready to break through after collecting her 4th minor placing in a row last time over 1200m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Drawn to go forward. Likely improver with strong prospects. ETEOCLOS (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of nine weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at this track over 1200m. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. KITANO LIVELY (10) has been freshened since finishing 10 lengths away in seventh over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Should park just off the speed. One to consider. SYMPHONY SEAS (8) was beaten half a length into second at Fukushima Dirt two starts ago then finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track. Has ability and definitely worth including.
