NIIGATA DIRT   09 Aug 2025
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

A solid tempo anticipated with Feel Awesome and Cocobolo ahead of Merry Sound and Windstille. CON AFFETTO (6) has not raced since she finished sixth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt on June 7. Won her maiden in good style over today's trip at Nakayama Dirt. In the right race to make a successful return. FEEL AWESOME (8) battled on well to hold second last start over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten 1.5 lengths when fresh from a spell. Strips fitter so anticipating another big run. VIP REINE (1) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on 7 June, finishing 14th and beaten 14 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Definite top-three chance in the best figures. DEPENDABLE (4) returns after a spell of three months. Looking to emulate her win at Tokyo Dirt to kick off the last campaign. Sure to make her presence felt.
