KOKURA DIRT   06 Jul 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1000m

Track: STANDARD      

Good pace from Femme Elegante, Dona Pound and Peisha Val Two. Promising filly FEMME ELEGANTE (11) has not raced since she scored over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt on April 20. Nicely placed and expected to go well. PENTELIKON (12) broke through for her maiden win over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt last time, scoring comfortably. Drawn out a bit but she cannot be discounted. FIDDLE FADDLE (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. TOPPI GO (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Hanshin Dirt over 1200m after racing in the leading division. Can fill a top-three spot.
