KYOTO DIRT   28 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Allowance Race 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Genuine tempo with Kazu Gortys leading the way. STAR TURN (1) started favourite when resuming but found one better over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Scored at his only try at this trip. Should be in the finish again. T M LISTED (9) lines up for the first time since February 4. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. KAZU GORTYS (7) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Hanshin. Fitter so expect a better run this time. DOBBIACO (3) got off the mark when resuming from a spell over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Harder this time but still one to consider.
