CHUKYO DIRT   15 Mar 2026
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Strong tempo with Eikai Boxer, Meisho Kobe and Saltar leading the way. ARC D'OR (15) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2400m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Course and distance winner and expected to go close. TOA KERKYRA (9) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on December 14 when second, beaten a neck. Should park just off the speed. Placed 4/5 so far. Likely to feature. RED EUROS (6) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has a decent second up record. Ready to find peak form this time. KOKODE IKKU (13) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
