KYOTO DIRT   04 May 2025
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1200m

Track: FIRM      

Ena Drive and Dual Task should set a strong gallop. URUS CHROME (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. IMPULSION (11) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. VIOLENZA (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2.75 lengths when fifth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt three weeks ago after being handy in running. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DUAL TASK (15) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Has upside and must be respected.
