KYOTO DIRT   30 May 2026
 
GOING:

Maiden Race 1400m

Track:      

Nihonpiro Locus can work over from a wide gate to lead. TAGANO PUDDING (3) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fourth, beaten 3 lengths, last time over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Better than the last effort and deserves another chance. NIHONPIRO LOCUS (14) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when third over 1400m at this track. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide. Leading contender who will take catching. COLORER (8) has not raced since her debut back on February 21 when she finished sixth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Expected to be more furnished this time and should be right there at the business end. ALI HAM (7) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Can kick off with a bold showing.
