CHUKYO DIRT   30 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo expected primarily from Black Ray and American Bar. FRANKIE BAROWS (4) has accrued four minor placings from four runs this preparation. Turned in another good effort at his most recent run when third over 1800m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PEPTIDE MOGAMI (12) finished second last time out over 1800m at this track, making it four career minor placings. Has a good record at this distance with three top-three results from four starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. AMERICAN BAR (9) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a third over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. One of the better prospects. IFUDODO (11) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1800m at this track. Another forward showing is anticipated.
