CHUKYO DIRT   02 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with Spannend Will to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. SPANNEND WILL (1) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Can improve enough to win this. MOZU K STAR (11) has not been sighted since he finished sixth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt on May 31. Well placed and should be tough to beat. BEAM (13) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 9 lengths when fifth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. TAVANESTAN (14) is back after a break of ten months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Can kick off with a bold showing.
