KYOTO DIRT   04 Oct 2025
 
GOING:

Allowance Race 1800m

Track:      

Genuine tempo with the speedy Toller leading the way. HIRUNO HAMBURG (2) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey in the G3 Leopard Stakes at Niigata Dirt then battled on bravely to finish third, beaten a mere 0.6 lengths. This is an infinitely easier assignment and he should be winning. MEISHO TSUYOKI (7) returned from a break and was tackling a dirt track for the first time last start when victorious over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt. Useful colt who can progress from that run and offer some resistance. MOKKU MOKKU (4) turned in a better run last time to finish second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt after being in contention on the turn. Seina Imamura gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. Has the ability to figure prominently. TOLLER (6) finished sixth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt at his most recent appearance on July 5. Will be better next time but can squeeze into the frame.
