SAPPORO DIRT   09 Aug 2025
 
GOING: M

Allowance Race 1700m

Track:      

Rouge Mirage has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. ROUGE MIRAGE (3) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 1.3 lengths over 1700m at this track. Will take catching. NARITA HIKARI (4) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Re-unites with Yutaka Take who was on board last start. Can go right on with the job now. LOVE ME NASSAU (7) resumes after a break of four months. Trying to repeat her debut win over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt to kick off last prep. Solid chance. LUMINEUSE (5) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1700m at this track. Nicely placed to find winning ways.
