SAPPORO DIRT   07 Sep 2025
 
GOING:

ASAHIKAWA TOKUBETSU 1700m

Track:      

Solid tempo with Chuwa Kris S driving forward f, joined by On The Square and Meisho Tamushiba pushing on from closer draws. CHUWA KRIS S (13) got the prize two runs ago at Hakodate Dirt. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1700m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. MAJOR DEBUT (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 25/05/2025, finishing ninth and beaten 4 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Expect her to play a major role. TOSEN SAUDADE (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 26 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EMPRESS FLAME (10) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success over 1700m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 4 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
