CHUKYO DIRT   26 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

ENSHUNADA TOKUBETSU 1800m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Furaha leading from Pulchritude and Kurino Swallow. PULCHRITUDE (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Likely improver with strong prospects. KURINO SWALLOW (3) missed the placings last time out over 2100m at Kawasaki. Prior to that had won two races on end. Tackles tougher company but can figure in the finish. FURAHA (6) has been thereabouts since scoring at Tokyo Dirt on 17 November, the latest effort a fourth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. HAGINO CORAZON (7) was below best form latest when an 8 length eighth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Previous form sound and rates among the chances.
