SAPPORO DIRT   31 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1700m

Track:      

Fast pace with Vita Levis showing out and Takaichi Nadal crossing to apply some pressure. SATOMINO ANGEL (8) finished second last time out over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt, making it six career minor placings. Has been in the frame both runs over this trip. Expected to measure up. MEISHO GEKIHA (7) finished second last time out over 1700m at this track, making it four career minor placings. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this circuit. Among the leading players. MIKKI CANDY (2) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 7 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. FANTASMA (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
