KYOTO DIRT   28 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Expecting Shiyu Black to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. ASTRAKA (13) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Taisei Danno. Nicely placed to find winning ways. CRESCO THUNDER (5) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. THREE MOMENT (9) is a well-related three-year-old colt making his first appearance at the races. By Maurice from Narita Blue Star who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Promising type who can feature in the finish. EPIC NIGHT (6) finished 9 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt on March 31. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes.
