SAPPORO DIRT   03 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1700m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Macmillan Tesoro. MACMILLAN TESORO (4) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RISEE NOIR (5) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this campaign. Produced another good performance last start when second over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. KAPELLBRUCKE (6) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ROSE MEISTER (3) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
