SAPPORO DIRT   24 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1000m

Track:      

Expecting a strong gallop with Dignitoso and Ichito Zerono Aida taking up the running over Mr D J. DIGNITOSO (3) got off the mark with an impressive maiden win last time out over 1000m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. No reason he cannot get the job done again. ICHITO ZERONO AIDA (11) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when 12th over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. LOVE ME NASSAU (2) got well back over 1700m at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 10 lengths away in 11th. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. MR D J (8) turned in another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt at the second run back from a spell. Yuji Tannai gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
