SAPPORO DIRT   30 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1700m

Track:      

They look to roll along early with Fire Whip and Suzuno Soleil leading the charge. PETIT BEURRE (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m on May 11. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. MISTY MOUNTAIN (10) got off the mark when resuming from a spell over 1700m at this track last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Re-unites with Takeshi Yokoyama who was on board last start. Looms as one of the hardest to beat again. COSMO FREDDIE (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 20/04/2025, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Makes plenty of appeal. VERA GUERRIERO (9) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, finishing second and beaten a head at $190.30. Back-marker who keeps coming. Will be doing his best work late.
