GOING:

Race 6 1600m

Track:      

Solid tempo from Opera Aria, Hermosa Mio and Sorbet battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. SORBET (10) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1650m at this track. Same rider aboard and looks a leading player again. AMBROSIANA (6) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 2/08/2025, finishing 13th and beaten 19 lengths over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Has switched to the Yoshihiro Sawa yard. One of the genuine hopes in the race. OPERA ARIA (12) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Expect a bold showing. HERMOSA MIO (4) is a distance specialist who is progressing well this preparation, scoring by a neck last time out over 1650m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
