KOKURA DIRT   29 Jun 2024
 
GOING: M

Maiden Race 1000m

Track: MUDDY      

Ma Seule Etoile is expected to lead at a slick tempo. MA SEULE ETOILE (8) finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt after she was in contention on the turn. Likely improver with winning claims. BEE KONG (14) has been in the placings four times from 10 outings. Last start finished fifth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Goes well here with three top-three finishes to his credit. Won't get too many better chances to break through. SHAKASHAKASHII (11) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better. WIN AUBE (5) made progress last time out, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. No surprise to see him in the frame.
