CHUKYO DIRT   31 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Frontiere should find the front with Kimigatame and Kitasan Riser on his heels. STERNBILD (15) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it. FRONTIERE (14) led into the straight last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt but could not sustain the pressure and finished seventh. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Leading contender. SMART SATURN (3) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at Hanshin the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. ODENTA (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of H Oneda. By Big Arthur from Bella Iris. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
