CHUKYO DIRT   24 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Red Bob and Danon Wilhelm leading from Porte D'or and Barquentine. RED BOB (7) returns from a spell of ten weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 1900m at this track. Can return in winning form. TAGANO MALAKH (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1900m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. PORTE D'OR (1) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1800m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. BARQUENTINE (4) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at Chukyo. Comes here with definite top-three claims.

Second-up. First-up after three months struggled in the run home; 8th of 10 at this track on August 2 over 1800m, 12 len behind Show Dancer carrying 57.0kg at $5.80. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Kyoto Dirt on April 27 over 1800m, head behind Meisho Oko with 58.0kg at $17.70. One of the top chances.
