SAPPORO DIRT   26 Jul 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1700m

Track:      

Blazing Star should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. SHONAN YO HO (11) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, clocking in 2.5 lengths from the winner. Rock hard fit now and has the right credentials to take this out. COSMO SERBET (9) easily won his maiden over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt two back then disappointed over the same course and distance last time. Worth another chance. WATER LEADER (13) has been freshened up since a midfield finish over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt eight weeks ago. In contention on his best form. RED BELLE DANSE (12) filled a minor placing when fresh from a spell two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 12 lengths away in fifth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Fitter and deserves another chance.
