HAKODATE DIRT   22 Jun 2025
 
GOING: M

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Genuine pace with Ryujin O taking up the running ahead of A Shin Pulsar and Man Of The Match. THE HUNT (6) is yet to break through after seven starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1700m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Overdue and shapes as a leading chance this line-up. MAN OF THE MATCH (8) is yet to break through after six starts. Last time out was fourth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1700m at this track. Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. CARNOUSTIE (10) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Tokyo over 1600m, beaten 6 lengths. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. LORD SKYBLUE (5) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
