KYOTO DIRT   27 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

In a race without a noted leader either Mission Loose or Gouvernail can take charge. MISSION LOOSE (12) showed early speed from a good draw and led until the entering the straight when first-up from a break last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 5 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Sure to go well. GOUVERNAIL (4) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish fourth over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. CHO GAMBARE (9) has filled a minor placing on two occasions in five starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Goes well at this journey with two minor placings to his credit. Worth including. BRAVE HEART MAN (3) is a first-starter by California Chrome from Tiffany Case who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Should enjoy a nice run from this draw and is certainly worth considering.
