KYOTO DIRT   05 Oct 2025
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Smart Julius. SMART JULIUS (9) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date. Led and fought on well in a Newcomer on debut then tried hard from a wide gate last time when beaten half a length into second over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best figures should see him run well. HARD THINGS (10) is still a maiden after three runs. Was well in commission last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Better for the first experience on the dirt and is a great chance to break through. T O ANGELA (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Hanshin, beaten 4 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the bend. First try on the dirt. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. LUFADA (16) raced once in the maiden preparation when fifth at Hanshin Dirt over 1200m back on June 22. Plenty of scope for improvement and well placed back to maiden class.
