CHUKYO DIRT   26 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

YOKKAICHI TOKUBETSU 1400m

Track:      

Truman Tesoro and Vero Cuore to take up the running at a strong tempo. VERO CUORE (14) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Has found the right race. ALCIONE (11) returns from a spell of seven months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when ninth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Should camp just off the leaders. Likely to feature. TOSEN SAUDADE (16) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MOKKU MOKKU (9) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 5.5 lengths away in eighth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt on May 18. Has a strong record when resuming, including two wins. Has to be respected.
