KYOTO DIRT   28 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Maiden Race 1800m

Track: STANDARD      

Solid tempo headed by G T Spica and Snark Sapphire. LOVELY SIGN (9) finished third last time over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt to make it three minor placings from five career runs. Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from three starts. Well placed and is among the leading players. G T SPICA (7) finished 6 lengths away in eighth last time out over 1600m at Hanshin after being in contention on the corner when first up from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Best form puts her right in this. COCO CHAMPAGNE (4) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fifth at her last appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt on April 7. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. HEPBURN (10) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Tatsuya Yoshioka. By Kitasan Black from Cheek To Cheek. Worth watching for a betting push.
