NIIGATA DIRT   31 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track:      

Reasonable tempo with Derma Et Alors probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. GAMBARE BEAR (13) improved last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. YOTARO (10) wound up strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when first-up last start over 1200m at this track. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. DERMA ET ALORS (8) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished tenth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Strong winning chance on best figures. TOUCH DOWN (12) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Fukushima. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
