KYOTO DIRT   11 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G

MISASAGI STAKES 1900m

Track:      

Daimei Seven, Meisho Zuiun and Idea Igosso can set a genuine tempo. PENNA VELOCE (16) has savaged the line at both runs this campaign, coming from a mile back to get up for third most recently over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. An extra 100m will help. Among the leading chances in a competitive race. TAGANO BABYLON (14) made it two wins on the bounce last start when he scored by 2 lengths over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Kept fresh since that dominant effort nine weeks ago. Likely to be in the finish again. MEISHO ZUIUN (8) got the prize two runs ago at Kokura Dirt. Had a two-month let-up before finishing third over 2000m at Morioka Dirt at his latest outing, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has the talent to return to the winner's list. SCHALKHAFT (7) improved sharply last time out to score by 3 lengths over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt two weeks ago. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
