KYOTO DIRT   11 May 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Sizzling pace from the outset from Max Serenade, Metal Heart and Tagano Eclair locking horns ahead of Rouge Chouette and Yellow Sapphire. MAX SERENADE (11) was thereabouts last time out when third at this track over 1800m, beaten one length. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with four placings to her name. Bold showing expected. ROUGE CHOUETTE (13) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Well placed and there is no reason shy she cannot salute. METAL HEART (8) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth in a 1800m contest at Hanshin Dirt four weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Has her share of ability and is hard to beat in this suitable race. TAGANO ECLAIR (2) is third up today and looks close to a win after finishing a close second last time out over 1800m at this circuit. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Deserves respect on best figures.
