KYOTO DIRT   03 May 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Solid tempo expected primarily from Bebop and Previsto. OKOTAMPE (8) wasn't far away last time and is edging towards a win, the latest effort a solid second over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. One of the primary chances. IMMUTABLE (12) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. MON CHEMIN (10) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 2 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1200m at Hanshin. Y Iwata stays aboard. Certainly one to consider. ZAOULI (4) produced a reasonable effort when fifth last start over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. That followed a win at Kokura Dirt the start prior. Worth plenty of thought.
