KYOTO   05 Oct 2025
 
GOING:

THE KYOTO DAISHOTEN 2400m

Track:      

Plenty of pressure primarily from Durezza, Sunrise Earth and Admire Terra. ADMIRE TERRA (4) is a talented galloper with a very good strike rate who finished off last campaign with a win over 2500m in the G2 Meguro Kinen at Tokyo on June 1. Has a strong first-up record with two wins from four runs and is a winner this grade already. Sure to prove tough to beat. DUREZZA (7) was well held in the Takarazuka Kinen won by Meisho Tabaru over 2200m at Hanshin at his last appearance four months ago. Should park just off the speed. Grade 1 winner resuming and back in class for this. Expected to be in the finish. SUNRISE EARTH (5) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing fourth over 3200m in the G1 Tenno Sho (Spring) at this track five months ago. Has a strong record when resuming, including two wins. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. DEEP MONSTER (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when one length away in third over 2000m in the G3 Niigata Kinen. Finds a suitable race and can fill another top-three spot.
