KYOTO DIRT   12 Oct 2025
 
GOING: G

UZUMASA STAKES 1800m

Track: FIRM      

Jinsei to take charge ahead of Thermal Soaring at a good tempo. JINSEI (6) is a genuine four-year-old entire who resumed with a solid fourth last time out in the G3 Sirius Stakes at Hanshin Dirt over 2000m. This easier and has a great second-up record. Excellent winning chance. NEVERMORE (1) is having her first run since July 9. Has a strong record when fresh with four wins from seven runs, the most recent over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt at the start of last prep. Loves the course and looks the main danger. HABIRE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Has never missed the frame second up. Likely improver with strong prospects. HAPI (8) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage ninth over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Much better than that and gets chance to atone.
