KYOTO DIRT   04 Oct 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1800m

Track:      

Strong tempo, primarily from You Are Flower and Meisho Vingtcinq. OLAVINLINNA (4) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt and did a good job to get up for third after settling in the back three. Will improve over this longer journey and is worth another chance. FLEUR D'OR (7) started at $1.90 but couldn't live up to the hype on debut last start, finishing 2.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1600m at Chukyo. Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. MEISHO KOSHU (3) has not raced since being well supported on his debut on July 26 over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt when he finished sixth. Should come on from that run and is worth another chance. HIRONO SKY (13) finished second on debut three weeks ago over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. That was a promising start and he looks sure to be competitive.
