CHUKYO DIRT   30 Aug 2025
 
GOING:

KIYOSU TOKUBETSU 1200m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Takaneno Hanakosan, Run Windy and American Bikini going hard, closely attended by Aster Ruhuna. AMERICAN BIKINI (13) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in eighth over 1200m at Hanshin on June 15 which was the only run of that prep. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Likely to feature. ECORO NEO (7) is fitter for two runs from a spell, last start finishing 2.25 lengths away in third over 1200m at this track. Solid prospects. ASTER RUHUNA (12) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten one length. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HOSHO MARIS (3) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Scored a good win at her final run last campaign at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
