KYOTO DIRT   03 May 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: GOOD      

Not seeing a great deal of early speed. %1% Not much early pace and doubt they will go hard. BIJOU DE NEIGE (3) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth after being in contention on the corner at her latest appearance over 2000m at Nakayama. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. COMPLETE (8) is a three-year-old filly by Kizuna out of Tanino Mission set to debut for the Katsunori Tanaka stable. Looks set to run well. Betting holds the key. MIDAS LIST (10) is a nicely bred three-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By Mind Your Biscuits from Start Up who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Promising type who is one to keeps tabs on in the betting. BAD GIRL (14) was close to a maiden win before a four months break, finishing off with a placing over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Drawn out which makes the job a little harder. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
