KYOTO DIRT   16 May 2026
 
GOING:

KAMIGAMO STAKES 1900m

Track:      

From wide out Tagano Makasih Ya can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. TAGANO MAKASIH YA (10) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was prominent throughout over 1800m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PENNA VELOCE (1) has struck a bit of form of late, finishing third over 1800m at this track most recently. Honest type who looks a great chance to take this out. STOP YEARNING (3) finished sixth two runs back at Hanshin Dirt then improved last time out to score by 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend over 1800m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. RUDESHEIM (4) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Strips fitter and can feature in the finish.
