MORIOKA DIRT   08 Sep 2025
 
GOING:

Race 6 1200m

Track:      

Anticipate a moderate tempo is a race devoid of recognised speedsters. TRES BELLE FILLE (8) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 15 lengths when fourth over 1200m at this track two weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. ON THE BASARA (10) is a 10-start maiden who returned last time and finished 12th at Niigata Dirt over 1800m, beaten 14 lengths. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. RETRO BOOM (4) has switched yards since finishing tenth two months ago over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. SPARK (3) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
