KYOTO DIRT   10 Jan 2026
 
GOING:

SUBARU STAKES(L) 1400m

Track:      

Good pace from Taku Shin Imeru, Saffron Hero and Reizvoll going forward. BIDAAYA (8) looks the goods in a race of few chances. Has been in the money at both starts this time in work, the latest a second over 1400m at this track. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in. Twice placed at Gr 3 level so his class should see him through. STAR TURN (14) has been thereabouts recently, the latest result a fourth beaten 2.25 lengths at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m. Has a solid record at this circuit. Will be hard to stop. REIZVOLL (3) finished 10 lengths behind the winner in 11th place when resuming over 1400m last start at this track. Has a better second-up record and has won three from four here at today's distance. Ready to find peak form this time. TRILLION BOY (15) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, getting the prize by a neck. Worth including.
